Judges Prestigious Pollie Awards
Stephen Abbott of Abbott Public Relations
recently served as a judge for the 17th Annual Pollie Awards, given out
each year by the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC).
The group reached out to Abbott and selected him as a judge for the
prestigious awards late last year, said Abbott. Judging took place
online during the month of January and was conducted online.
“These awards are the highest honors the political consulting and
public affairs community awards to the best in the business, and I was
honored to be a part of it,” said Abbott.
Competition among the more than 1250 entries was stiff and the judging
even stricter. Political and public affairs professionals entered their
“best of show” entries online – and seasoned professionals from
throughout the country went online to judge the materials with no
knowledge of who had entered the materials. The judges’ tallies were
added in Washington, D.C. by the AAPC staff, and winners were announced
at the Pollie Awards dinner Saturday, March 15 at Loew’s Santa Monica
Beach Hotel.
The multi-partisan American Association of Political Consultants is the
nation’s largest organization of political and public affairs
professionals.
The prestigious Pollie Awards is sponsored by Yahoo! and is the AAPC’s
signature annual event recognizing the best in political and public
affairs communications in 175 different categories each year.News
