Award Judging

Rochester’s PRism Awards recognize complete public relations programs and tactical elements incorporating sound insights and analysis, planning, execution and evaluation. They must meet the highest standards of performance in public relations to be considered. Only one PRism Award and one Award of Excellence will be given in each category. No awards will be given in categories where judges determine that the entries do not meet the entry criteria.

Each year, a PRSA chapter from outside of Rochester judges PRSA Rochester PRism entries and PRSA Rochester chapter members have the opportunity to reciprocate and judge another chapter's awards program. 

Which chapter is judging Rochester's PRism submissions in 2024? 

A panel of senior-level professionals from a PRSA chapter elsewhere in the country will judge Rochester's awards. Our judging chapter has not yet been assigned.
