Banner Awards Nominations and Scholarship Applications for 2026 are Now Closed.
Join us at the Central Library in Downtown Austin on Saturday, May 30, 2026, as we eat, drink and celebrate Central Texas communicators. We’ll mix, mingle, and hand out awards and scholarships when not furiously (but quietly) outbidding one another at the silent auction. As always, your most dashing hat is encouraged. The spirit of Julie Tereshchuk endures at the WCA, through the scholarship named after her and in every fabulous hat worn.
