The Prism Awards are Arkansas’ top honor for outstanding work in the field of public relations. The program is conducted by the Arkansas chapter of the Public Relations Society of America to recognize commendable public relations programs and the skills of Arkansas practitioners, companies and organizations.

The program also encourages improved public relations, professionalism, performance and techniques. The competition is open to members and non-members of the Arkansas chapter of PRSA.

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 Arkansas PRSA chapter to judge entries.

CALL FOR ENTRIES

There are two divisions for entries: the multi-element categories (1-12) for campaigns and total PR programs involving several elements or pieces, and single-element pieces and programs (13-26). 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.
