The Port of Vancouver has earned two communication awards for community awareness and video production.
The American Association of Port Authorities selected the port for an Award of Distinction for its public tours programs, which provide insight into how the port operates on the Columbia River waterfront.
The association also honored the port with an Award of Merit for a minute-long video highlighting efforts to protect the environment, specifically The Grattix, a rain garden in a box used to clean storm runoff from rooftops.
Entries in the association’s Communications Awards Program are judged by an independent panel of communications professionals on situation analysis and research; identification of audience, goals, objectives, strategies and tactics; quality/clarity of content and style; skillful use of copy, photography, design, layout and graphics; and evaluation methods used to determine communication success.
