The City of Carrollton’s Marketing Services team was honored to win two 2023 Blue Pencil and Gold Screen Awards for marketing and communications efforts from the National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC). 

The Blue Pencil and Gold Screen Awards are an annual national awards program that recognizes superior government communication products and those who produce them. The awards give communicators the opportunity to share some of their best work, innovation, and creativity. Entries are judged by teams of professional communicators. The annual NAGC conference awards program serves as a professional highpoint for government communications nationally. In addition to the peer recognition fostered by the NAGC, the process allows all participating members to learn more about what best practices and innovative communication tools are being used around the world and provides invaluable networking opportunities and practical educational sessions to help government communicators increase their skills.

The City of Carrollton garnered awards in the Print - Poster and the Graphic Arts categories, both with second place wins for the design of the City’s signature event poster artwork for the 2022 Festival at the Switchyard, with judges noting its unique composition and style elements that set the tone for the successful event.

“At the City of Carrollton, we work to further City Council’s vision to be the community that families and businesses want to call home. I’m proud of our Marketing team’s prioritization of citizen engagement and work to increase awareness, excitement, and investment in our city,” said Marketing Director Kelli Lewis. “It is an honor to be recognized for those efforts by our peers at a prestigious national organization such as NAGC.”
