River basin education publications
created by the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality won two awards at the
2015 PICA (Printing Industry of the Carolinas) Award ceremony in Concord on April 16. The N.C. Correction Enterprises Print Plant of Nashville received a
Special Judges Award under the “campaign” category for their printing of the Discover North Carolina’s River Basins booklet and the Catawba River Basin and Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin brochures.
These publications are produced by the department’s Office of Environmental
Education and Public Affairs.
The PICA Awards received more than 630
entries from 47 printing companies from across the state this year. The entries
were reviewed by a panel of out-of-state judges using criteria that included clarity and neatness, sharpness of
halftones and line drawings, richness and tonal qualities of color, paper and
ink selection, ink coverage, difficulty of printing, effective contrast or
softness, finishing, bindery, and overall visual impact.

The river basin publications are extremely popular with teachers and
the public and receiving a PICA Award is wonderful news for an already
successful program. The Office of
Environmental Education and Public Affairs provides the Discover North
Carolina’s River Basins booklet, brochures on each of the state’s 17 river
basins and a poster sized map of the basins to educators. The program also
maintains an interactive online map to find out which basin you live in and to
find environmental education centers in your area.
PICA is headquartered in Charlotte, NC. For more information, visit www.picanet.org. More information about the DEQ River Basin program
