Final Day to Apply for the 2026 Diamond Awards


Maine credit unions do outstanding work every day—and today (January 16) is the final day to make sure that work gets the national recognition it deserves. Entries for America’s Credit Unions’ 2026 Diamond Awards close at midnight today. 

If your credit union delivered creative campaigns; impactful storytelling; or innovative marketing, PR, or business development efforts in 2025, this is your last chance to showcase those achievements on a national stage. The Diamond Awards highlight the ideas and strategies that strengthen the credit union movement and make a difference in local communities—like those here in Maine. 

“The Diamond Awards recognize more than strong creative—they celebrate the strategic thinking and results that help credit unions better serve their members and communities,” said Mike Rosmus, Creative Marketing Manager for the League and Synergent. “We encourage credit unions of all sizes to submit their best work and take pride in the impact they’ve made.” 

Winning entries will be announced at the Marketing, PR & Development Council Conference taking place from March 22–25, 2026 in Aurora, Colorado. 

To review categories and submit your entries by today’s deadline, please visit the Diamond Awards website.
