Only a few local government award programs stand head and shoulders above the rest of the pack and 3CMA’s Savvy awards is one of them. 3CMA recognizes the very best in strategic marketing and compelling communications. During its 24 year history, 3CMA has had more than 10,000 entries which in many cases became the benchmarks for all local government communication efforts.

We’d like you to share your successes with other local governments and perhaps, win an award! What Savvy ideas are you proud of? Have you been Savvy this year? Have you really made your city, county, agency or district shine?

The Savvy Awards competition recognizes outstanding local government achievements in communications, public-sector marketing and citizen-government relationships. The Savvies salute skilled and effective city, county, agency or district professionals who have creatively planned and carried out successful innovations in communications and marketing.

3CMA accommodates local government organizations of all sizes and budget classes by judging entries in several different population groups.

The Savvy Awards program also serves as an increasingly important forum for exchanging cutting-edge information and ideas among government professionals. Local governments are in the spotlight now, more than ever.  Local government officials must react with innovative, creative approaches and programs.  In the Savvy competition, you can share with others how you have risen to the new financial challenges. Other local government professionals would like to learn from your experience and exchange ideas that may help you in the future.
