Get the recognition that you deserve.
Demonstrate the value of your hard work by entering it into the Public Relations Society of America’s Las Vegas Valley Chapter’s Pinnacle Awards. Sometimes, our clients or leaders may not fully appreciate the contributions we make to their success. In addition, the independent perspectives from colleagues in other markets validate our efforts and provide us with insights into ways we can continue to contribute to our organization’s success.

What’s Next
To enter the 2025-26 Pinnacle Awards, the majority of entry-related materials used must have been developed and implemented within the PRSA-LVVC market (i.e., Southern Nevada, Southern Utah, and Northern Arizona), or by practitioners who are predominantly based in the PRSA-LVVC market between August 1, 2024, and June 30, 2026. The call for entries for the 2025-26 awards will open in spring 2026. In the meantime, entrants are encouraged to prepare their entries as soon as the eligible work is completed, while plans and results are still fresh and readily available.

About the PRSA-LVVC Pinnacle Awards
Created in 1996, the Pinnacle Awards recognize the best public relations programs, tools, and professionals in Southern Nevada, Northwest Arizona, and Southern Utah. The Pinnacle Awards, open to both chapter members and non-members, are judged by PRSA members outside our region who have significant professional experience and/or accreditation.
The Pinnacle Awards program is modeled after the national PRSA Silver and Bronze Anvil Awards. Honorees are encouraged to enter their Pinnacle-winning entries into the national awards program.
Best of Show in the campaigns category will be submitted to the PRSA Western District Best in the West Awards, a competitive awards program among the 11 chapters within the Western District.
