The city of Southfield’s 2010 Annual Report/Calendar was selected as a finalist for one of three awards (Savvy, Silver Circle or Award of Excellence) in the 22nd annual national Savvy Awards Competition sponsored by the City-County Communications and Marketing Association (3CMA).
The exact award designation, offered in the category of photography for communities in the population group 16,000-78,296, will be announced on September 9 at the 3CMA Annual Conference in Atlanta, GA.
The Southfield 2010 Annual Report/Calendar was produced entirely in-house by the City’s Community Relations Department. The city of Southfield’s entry was one of more than 700 submitted from municipalities and counties from across the country.
The Savvy Awards are held annually in cooperation with the National League of Cities to recognize outstanding local government achievements in communications, public sector marketing, and citizen-government relationships. Each year the number of entries in 3CMA's Savvy Awards competition continues to increase in quantity, quality, and scope of programs submitted. The program reflects the growing skills of communications professionals, as more local governments and agencies embrace and employ the concepts of enhanced marketing and communication with citizens. The Savvies salute effective city/county/agency government programs that exhibit creativity and innovation.
