The Fairfax County Park Authority was awarded a Blue Pencil and Golden Screen Award by the National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC) for excellence in government communications. The Park Authority was awarded third place in the educational/instructional video category for a tutorial video highlighting the use of the new Park Amenity Locator.

With more than 420 parks and a widely diverse list of amenities throughout the park system, the Fairfax County Park Authority launched a new Park Amenity Locator to assist residents in finding parks and amenities throughout the county that appeal to their individual interests. Along with the new application, the Park Authority created a 99-second tutorial video to assist users in navigating the capabilities of the new tool.

The NAGC’s Blue Pencil and Gold Screen Awards is an annual international awards program that recognizes superior government communication products and those who produce them.
