The INSPRA Communications Contest is an annual opportunity for school districts to submit publications and projects for judging by a panel of experts. The judges apply a rubric to evaluate each entry against the highest standards in professional communications.

“The contest highlights outstanding communications efforts throughout Illinois,” said INSPRA President Carla Erdey, director of communications for Consolidated High School District 230. “It also allows communications professionals to receive feedback in order to improve and better serve their school communities.”
