Welcome to the 2026 UAW-LUCA
Excellence in Communications Contests
Contests for work produced in 2025
The UAW-LUCA Excellence in Communications Contests recognize UAW local unions that have achieved outstanding labor communications. Our contests also recognize and applaud the hard work of local union members who contribute to our local union publications, websites and other communications to our members.
Before you submit entries for the LUCA Contest, if you're not sure if your local is a LUCA local, go here check to see if your local is signed up with LUCA.
Use the button below to enter. Contests will open for submissions on January 5, 2026, 8 AM EST. Visiting the page before this will result in a 404 error message.
The contests for 2026 awards recognize the best communications created between January 1 and December 31, 2025.
Thank you to everyone who entered the contest in 2025. View the contest winners, here. View contest winner entries, here.
All LUCA members are invited to enter. LUCA membership is FREE and open to all UAW local unions. If your local is not a LUCA member and would like to join, apply for LUCA membership here. Judges will evaluate the entries on the basis of originality, creativity, readability/comprehension and effective UAW communications.
