Note: Communications is an art as much as it is a set of skills. In judging communications,
marketing, and messaging, we recognize that additional benchmarks should be considered in
judging communications abstracts. Aside from quantitative considerations, judges will consider
overall creativity; effectiveness in reaching and broadening audiences; and, in cases in which the
campaign may need fine-tuning and adjustments to reach a campaign’s goals, the ability of health
department staff to swiftly make these changes will also be a consideration.
