WSPRA members are invited to showcase their achievements, be recognized for their creativity and talent, and receive valuable feedback from professional PR judges. Entries may be submitted beginning in May. Deadline for submitting entries is in August, with the specific date to be determined each year. Awards are presented at the annual Fall Conference in November.

The deadline for this year’s competition will be FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2024. The communication materials entered must have been produced between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024.  Previous entries are ineligible, regardless of whether or not an award was earned.
