Stephen Abbott 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 Release
