FAIRFAX, VA, July 24, 2000 - ICF Consulting
announced today that it has received the 2000 Creativity
in Public Relations Award (CIPRA) in the Public Service
Announcement (PSA) Print category. ICF Consulting won the
award for its "Runs Better Unleaded" PSA in support
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Lead Awareness
Program. ICF Consulting developed the catchy and colorful
"Runs Better Unleaded" PSA, which features vivid
photographs of children playing in different settings, and
placed the PSA throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan
transit system and in movie theaters in Baltimore, Maryland,
to raise awareness of the risks of childhood lead poisoning.
"ICF Consulting has addressed lead-poisoning issues for years
in scientific, policy, and communications roles," said
Susan Hughes, senior vice president of ICF Consulting and
director of its communications practice. "It is especially
rewarding to be recognized by our peers for our creative efforts
on such an important health issue."
The CIPRAs are sponsored by Inside PR, one of the leading
public relations publications. Now in its tenth year,
the CIPRAs celebrate excellence across the broad spectrum
of public-relations activities, from the management of corporate
reputation to the introduction of a new product to the production
of a video news release. CIPRA winners are chosen from more
than 1,500 submissions—more than twice as many as other
awards for public relations programming. Winners are chosen
by the most senior judges in the industry, all of whom are
either presidents of respected public relations firms or the
senior communications professionals at major corporations.

Communications practice of ICF Consulting, which is located
in Washington, D.C., helps its clients strategically communicate
their social marketing messages to key stakeholders. Some
