North Carolina Travel Industry Association (NCTIA) Award: Jacksonville-Onslow Sports Commission a Platinum Winner

In conjunction with Onslow County Tourism, the Jacksonville Onslow Sports Commission (JOSC) received a platinum award at North Carolina Travel Industry Association (NCTIA) Annual Banquet.

The purpose of the Tourism Achievement Awards is to honor and showcase innovation, best practices, creativity, and noteworthy accomplishments from tourism members. Individuals and destinations are both recognized at the NCTIA Annual Awards Banquet.

The Jacksonville-Onslow Sports Commission won platinum in Group Visitor Marketing, small market, for their Sledgehammer Beach Run held annually in February at North Topsail Beach. JOSC Associate Director Marisa Reeder said, “We are very excited to receive this award. Promoting and marketing our events in new ways is always a fun challenge. The Sledgehammer event doubled in size, and even more importantly, in out-of towners in 2022. It was great to receive recognition for these efforts for a fun, unique event in Onslow County.”
