The winners of the 27th Annual Communicator Awards have been announced by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts.  With more than 6,000 entries received from across the U.S. and around the world, the Communicator Awards is the largest and most competitive awards program honoring creative excellence for communications professionals.

PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America) received awards of distinction for PMMA's community websites, the 2021 Art is Ageless calendar, and two print ads, The Good Life testimonial ads developed for Aberdeen Heights, and the Spirit of Community ads developed for all PMMA communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Communicator Awards are judged and overseen by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA), a 600+ member organization of leading professionals from various disciplines of the visual arts dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional and interactive media.

“The work entered in to this year’s 27th Annual Communicator Awards is even more impressive than in seasons’ past,” said Eva McCloskey, managing director of the AIVA. “This year’s entries are a truly stellar embodiment of our ‘Communication is everything’ tagline. On behalf of the Academy, I would like to thank all of this season’s entrants for their willingness to produce such boundary-pushing, effective and outstanding work.”

All entries are judged on a 100-point scale. Entries receiving awards of excellence receive a score of 90 or above and distinction winners receive a score of 70 to 89.

The Communicator Awards is sanctioned and judged by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, an invitation-only body consisting of top-tier professionals from a "Who's Who" of acclaimed media, advertising, and marketing firms.
