PRAM PRism Awards

The PRAM PRism Awards program began in 2003 as a way to honor and recognize outstanding work in the field of Public Relations by professionals within the state of Mississippi. The awards are judged by professionals outside the geographical boundaries of the Southern Public Relations Federation — Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana. A "Best of Show" is awarded as well as a "Judge’s Choice". The highest award honor goes to the PRism winners, followed by Awards of Excellence and Certificates of Achievement.

SPRF Lantern Awards

The Southern Public Relations Federation (SPRF) recognizes outstanding work in the field of public relations through its annual Lantern Awards program. The entries are judged on their individual merit by nationwide PR practitioners. The awards program offers three levels of recognition, including Certificates of Merit, Awards of Excellence and Lantern Awards. From those, the judges also select the Best of Show Award and up to two Judges’ Choice Awards.
