Get the recognition you deserve.
Prepare your best work and enter in 2023!
The Pinnacle Awards from the Public Relations Society of America Las Vegas Valley Chapter provides an excellent way to demonstrate the results of your hard work. They serve to help public relations professionals show clients and senior management what public relations can accomplish. If you’re new to public relations, participating in the Pinnacle Awards is a great way to learn techniques of the trade.
Sometimes clients and/or senior management may not understand exactly what we do, or why we do what we do. The out-of-market judges’ comments (the judging forms are provided when you pick-up your entries on the night of the Pinnacle Awards) can be valuable tools to help illustrate the type of information and skill set public relations practitioners require to effectively plan and implement communications campaigns.
To enter the 2023 Pinnacle Awards, the majority of the entry-related work used must have been developed and implemented between January 1, 2022 and July 31, 2023.
Categories
Campaigns include 11 categories. These entries are judged as complete public relations campaigns.
Tactics entries recognize excellent work that may have served as part of an overall public relations campaign. There are 11 categories.
All entries that win Pinnacle Awards in Campaigns and Tactics categories are automatically considered for the Best of Show award.
Outstanding entries receive a Pinnacle Award obelisk. Other noteworthy entries receive a certificate – either an Award of Excellence or an Award of Merit.
Individual Awards honor outstanding public relations professionals as Newcomer of the Year, PR Practitioner of the Year and Senior PR Practitioner of the Year. Note: Entries for individual awards may be submitted through Monday, Oct. 23.
When appropriate, the Volunteer of the Year and/or the Roger Buehrer Lifetime Achievement awards are also given to practitioners who exemplify PRSA’s professional ideals and have contributed greatly to the practice of public relations in our community.
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 are judged by out-of-market, accredited members of PRSA and are open to chapter members and nonmembers alike.
The Pinnacle Awards is modeled after the national PRSA Silver and Bronze Anvil Awards. Honorees are encouraged to enter their winning Pinnacle Award entry into the national awards program.
Best of Show in the Campaigns category will be submitted to the PRSA Western District Platinum Awards, a competitive awards program among the 11 chapters within the Western District.
