For 35 years, Shriners International has recognized temples for their successful communications. From websites, magazines and newsletters, to social media and email updates, the annual Dromedary Awards celebrate excellence in communications across the fraternity. A panel of judges reviews and offers feedback for all entries and chooses two winners and two honorable mentions in six categories, providing an opportunity for an exchange of ideas that helps grow and enhance digital and print communications, year after year. 2023 was an outstanding year with judges praising creative and eye-catching photos, simple, clear layouts, and the consistent use of style and graphics across mediums. Publications were recognized for having engaging features detailing unit activities, hospital updates and temple events. Photo galleries and collages received high marks, as did sections promoting fraternal and healthcare system milestones. The judges also applauded sections that focused on recruitment and the nobility, including new noble spotlights and special messages about what’s it like to be a Shriner.
