AAPA congratulates the 2022 AAPA Lighthouse Awards Program recipients! This year, 36 awards were presented to ports in recognition of their exemplary communications and programs highlighting best practices and lessons learned.
To recognize superior overall performance in the competition, three ports were recognized with the 2022 Overall Awards of Excellence trophies – the top awards in AAPA's Lighthouse Awards Program – awarded to Maryland Port Administration (Category 1), Port of Stockton (Category 2), and Port Everglades (Category 3). The three categories are based on the size of the port's public relations, advertising and marketing budget. Links to the entry summaries are provided below.
The winners in this year's competition will have their Excellence, Distinction and Merit awards mailed to their ports and be recognized in a PowerPoint presentation that will appear at AAPA’s 2022 Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida, October 16-19. Winners of the Overall Awards of Excellence will be recognized and receive their trophies at AAPA’s Annual Convention.
