This page con­tains sam­ples of pre­vi­ous win­ning Golden Trum­pet Award entry nar­ra­tives. The Pub­lic­ity Club of Chicago (PCC) would like to thank these past win­ners for shar­ing their narratives.

These entries cel­e­brate and show­case the hard work, cre­ativ­ity, and exper­tise of the pub­lic rela­tions pro­fes­sion­als who are proud mem­bers of the PCC. These cam­paigns exem­plify why win­ning a Golden Trum­pet Award is such an honor.

The sam­ples below can help you pre­pare an award-winning entry. We encour­age you to review them.

Before you read these nar­ra­tives, please take a moment to review the entry advice offered by 4-time PCC Pres­i­dent and long-time Golden Trum­pet Judge, David Brimm:

“I have been a long-time judge and the first thing I look at is if the stated objec­tives were met. It is crit­i­cal that your nar­ra­tive reflects what you set out to do, and then clearly out­lines the strate­gies and cre­ativ­ity that went into accom­plish­ing your objec­tives. I pay spe­cial atten­tion to entries in which the per­son or team enter­ing the com­pe­ti­tion had to over­come chal­lenges such as a tight dead­line, an emer­gency or a small bud­get. Warn­ing: impre­cise lan­guage, gram­mar mis­takes and typos can sink an entry, so care­fully proof­read your narrative.”

We wish you the best of luck with your entry!
