PALMY plaques & certificates

All plaques and certificates will be delivered to newspapers in early September. In most cases, awards will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail at no charge to the newspaper, but some will be hand-delivered. We’ll reach out to each newspaper directly to schedule delivery.

Included with your awards will be copies of the #SCPRESS20 program, containing a list of all winners and comments for first place awards (will also be available online).

If you need to order a wooden plaque base or duplicate award, please contact us now so we can deliver them at the same time and save on shipping.
