Padilla has been shortlisted with Hennepin County in the Best in Public Sector category at the PRWeek Awards, widely regarded as the communications industry’s highest accolade.

Padilla was recognized for its Trash or Cash campaign to help Hennepin County residents waste less food.  

Steve Barrett, VP, editorial director of PRWeek, said: “At such a heightened time of geopolitical conflict, economic uncertainty, antagonistic social climates and revolutionary technological upheaval, it has never been more important to celebrate the role of PR and communication in navigating these challenges. That’s why the PRWeek Awards 2026 is the ultimate bellwether of an industry operating at the top of its game while also evolving fast to meet this environment of constant change.”
