EPIC Awards
CAPIO's EPIC awards program recognizes the most creative and effective efforts in the areas of communication and marketing campaigns, newsletter production, photography, special events, writing, Web site development and video production.
The EPIC Awards honor work that transcends innovation and craft - work that made a lasting impact, providing an equal chance of winning to all entrants regardless of company or agency size and project budget. If your work moved people, we want to give it a chance to take home an EPIC.

CAPIO ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
Each year, CAPIO recognizes communicators who have demonstrated outstanding achievements and public communications excellence with three special awards—the lifetime achievement Paul B. Clark Award, Communicator of the Year and the Frank Potter Cowan Crisis Communications Leader Award.
An Achievement Awards Committee comprised of members from the CAPIO Board of Directors and experts in the field will review entries and select a winner for each special award.
Finalists and/or their nominators may be asked to provide additional information. The winner will be officially announced and honored at the EPIC Awards Dinner on Wednesday, April 10 during CAPIO’s annual conference from April 8 through April 11 at the Hyatt Regency in Newport Beach. Both third-party and self-nominations are accepted and encouraged!
