Guidelines for Pulitzer Centennial campfire participants

Thank you for participating in the 2016 Pulitzer Prize Centennial Campfires Initiative. Included on this page are tools and guidelines for creating announcements and other materials related to your event, and submitting information for possible inclusion on the Pulitzer.org website.

To capture the look and feel of the Pulitzers at your event, online and in printed materials, please reference our fonts, colors and Centennial logo as described below. Also included in these guidelines are tools for spreading the word about your event using social media, with Pulitzer support. Lastly, you will find information on how to submit event details for inclusion on the Pulitzers’ online calendar of events at Pulitzer.org, and how to share event highlights once your programming wraps.

Please submit event photos and event information to [email protected]. Contact the Pulitzers’ deputy administrator Megan Mulligan at [email protected] with further questions.
 
1. PRINTED AND PRESENTATION MATERIALS
In printed and presentation materials — such as flyers, posters, mailings, advertisements, PowerPoint slides or invitations — about Campfires events and activities, consider using the Pulitzer Centennial logo (image available on request.) The Pulitzer Prize colors and fonts also will help communicate your organization’s connection to the prizes visually.

The hex codes for our two dominant colors during the centennial year are below.

Primary color: Dark Navy, #0f1925
Secondary color: Gold, #bfa959
Primary font: Garamond
Pulitzer Centennial logo: The Pulitzer Centennial logo is available upon request.

2. SOCIAL MEDIA
The Pulitzer Prizes encourage you, your staff, your speakers and your audience to utilize social media to encourage attendance, stimulate conversation around the values of the prizes, and share highlights following an event. One way to increase impact is by tapping “social ambassadors” — individuals in your community who already are avid users of particular platforms and have loyal followings online. Consider mentioning the following accounts and tags in spoken introductions as well as on your website. If you use another platform, such as LinkedIn, Google+, Periscope, Flickr etc., feel free to spread the word there as well.

Please message or email us if there are posts we can like or retweet. We are always looking, but wouldn’t want to miss any!
