The annual contest recognizes townships that have successfully communicated programs and activities to residents.

The township received first-place honors in the Other Publications category for its trail map and tied for second place in the Websites category.

All entries were judged on the usefulness of information presented and how well the information was communicated to township residents. Publications were also judged on their overall attractiveness and readability.

Judges for the contest included members of the association's Publication's-Public Relations Committee, representatives from the Governor's Center for Local Government Services, and staff members of the Pennsylvania Township News, the association's award-winning monthly magazine
