The DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Awards
Honoring Excellence in Religious Communications and Public Relations
The DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Awards are given annually to active members of the Religion Communicators Council who demonstrate excellence in religious communications and public relations.
The awards are named to honor the late Victor DeRose and the late Paul M. Hinkhouse, leading lithographers in New York City, and longtime friends of the RCC. Both men shared a strong interest in, and concern for, excellence in communications.

2021 DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Awards
Questions? Contact Brian Fesler, Coordinator of the DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Awards.
I love the RCC. I take its mission to heart personally, and the people associated with this organization are doing some of the most important work of our times. I encourage all members to enter the DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Awards. Besides the opportunity to share your creations with a larger audience, you deserve the recognition. See you at the (virtual) awards show!
