In 1985, the National Council of State Tourism Directors (NCSTD) created a national awards program to:

  • Recognize members for excellence and creative accomplishment in state/territory tourism marketing and promotion
  • Inspire the continued development of truly imaginative and exciting destination marketing and promotion programs
  • Showcase outstanding work

Currently there are 12 general categories of Mercury Awards, some with subcategories, for a total of 16 opportunities. Mercury Awards entries are solicited in the spring (between March and May). Winners are announced at a special awards ceremony held during TIA's annual Educational Seminar for Tourism Organizations (ESTO).

For more information on the Mercury Awards please explore the links below or contact the National Councils Department at 202-408-8422.
