Learn how INSPRA can benefit your career in school communications

INSPRA Communications Awards Portal Now Open! Submit your Work for Consideration from September 2 through September 18

Submit your work today to be recognized amongst Illinois public school communications leaders in categories like video, website, email, and more in our annual Communications Awards.

Each entry is judged by the same criteria used in NSPRA's Publications and Digital Media Excellence awards and is reviewed by other school communicators from SPRAs around the country on the overall excellence of the entry and category specific criteria. The top award in each category is the Award of Excellence. Awards of Merit and Honorable Mentions are also given in each category.

All INSPRA members are given a free entry to our Awards using the checkout code INSPRA2026 so there's no reason not to enter. Take advantage of this opportunity to win awards for yourself and your district with this year's Communications Awards!

INSPRA Receives Four Mark of Distinction Awards at NSPRA 2026

We are honored to have been recognized with four Mark of Distinction Awards from NSPRA at the 2026 NSPRA Seminar! There are only four possible categories in which to enter, so we are proud that our organization was recognized in every category:

  • Coalition Building
  • Membership Building
  • Professional Development / Skill Building
  • Special PR / Communications Program

None of these honors would have been possible without the dedication shown by INSPRA members across the state. We are grateful for what each of you do for your schools, your communities, and our organization as well.
