Winners receive a framed certificate and coverage in the Township News. All entrants also compete for the annual Outstanding Citizen Communication Award, which is presented at PSATS’ Annual Conference to two townships (one with a population over 5,000 and one with a population of 5,000 or under) that show an exceptional commitment to keeping their residents informed.
