Excellence in the Media Sponsorships

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the only event in Southeast Texas that hosts journalists, public relations representatives and local dignitaries. The 32nd Annual Excellence in the Media & Newsmaker of the Year Awards Banquet is June 2, 2023, at the MCM Elegante Hotel and varying levels of sponsorships give you entry to the event and access to those making news.

The Excellence in Media Awards Ceremony is the time when those who write, report, photograph and broadcast the news are awarded for their talents over the past year. Likewise, members of the public relations field are lauded for their efforts.

The Press Club of Southeast Texas receives hundreds of entries from individuals and media outlets from across the region, including print, electronic media, magazines/trade press and public relations categories. Those entries are sent to judges throughout the nation, who choose the winners.

The annual event hosts local dignitaries and also recognizes the top area newsmakers from Southeast Texas. This year’s list of Newsmaker of the Year candidates were whittled down by a vote of the Press Club membership to include:

Finalists for 2022 Newsmaker of the Year this year will be announced after voting has been finished.

While all of these worthy candidates will be recognized for their work over the past year, only one will be selected as the 2023 Newsmaker of the Year by the Press Club of Southeast Texas.

Proceeds from the banquet fund The Press Club Memorial Scholarship at Lamar University dedicated to deceased journalists and awarded annually to students in communication, journalism, mass communications, advertising, public relations or related field.

Sponsorship levels and benefits are included for your convenience.

Thank you in advance for your participation in the Excellence in Media event and support of the Press Club of Southeast Texas. We look forward to seeing you and your guests on June 2.
