The DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Awards are given annually to active members of the Religion Communicators Council (RCC) who demonstrate excellence in religious communications and public relations.
The awards are named to honor the late Victor DeRose and the late Paul M. Hinkhouse, leading lithographers in New York City, and longtime friends of the RCC. Hinkhouse was a charter member of the Religious Publicity Council in 1929. He was secretary of the Presbyterian board of foreign missions at the time. Both men shared a strong interest in, and concern for, excellence in religion communication.
