In order to bring the highest level of professionalism to the Prism Awards program, we arrange for a group of APR professionals from outside the PRSA Arkansas Chapter to judge entries.

There are two divisions for entries: the multi-element categories (1-11) for campaigns and total public relations programs involving several elements or pieces, and single-element pieces and programs (12-25). All winners will receive a Prism Award. Finalists will receive an award of merit.

Each multi-element program should only be entered in one category. Individual elements from the multi-element program can be entered in other categories in the single element divisions. Judges may, at their discretion, move entries to other categories if appropriate.
