Past Award Winners

Submissions Now Open

Complete Submission Form

The P&P application period opened on October 1, 2026.
This year, submissions are welcome for any project or publication completed during the full calendar year of 2026. To ensure everyone has ample time to prepare and submit, the application window will remain open until February 1, 2027.

We can’t wait to celebrate the incredible work being done across our campuses. Be sure to encourage your team to submit their successes and take pride in their accomplishments! Let’s make this year’s P&P showcase the best yet!

Last year, the P&P Committee introduced a dedicated Article subcategory within the Print Media category to better recognize outstanding single-article submissions. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with the new category attracting strong entries and providing a more appropriate home for articles that may not have fit neatly into other categories.

Building on that success, we are excited to continue the Article subcategory for the 2026-2027 NAADA Projects & Publications Awards. This category recognizes excellence in writing, storytelling, and design, giving individual articles the opportunity to shine on their own merits. We look forward to seeing another impressive collection of submissions and celebrating the outstanding work being produced across our member agencies.

We’re looking forward to reading the impactful, creative, and inspiring articles you’ve produced.
Let’s celebrate your work the way it deserves!

• First and second place awards will be given for each of the categories.
• The entry fee is $25.00 per entry. Entry fees are non-refundable, and colleges will be invoiced based on information provided on your submission form.
• The deadline for submission is February 1, 2027.
