2018 Radiance Awards
The Radiance Awards recognize outstanding strategic public relations programs by Florida practitioners and organizations. The statewide awards recognize the highest levels of professional achievement. The awards highlight PR campaigns and tactics that demonstrate excellence in research, planning, implementation and evaluation, as well as individuals who have shown great commitment to the profession. Submissions are now being accepted for the 2018 PRSA Sunshine Radiance Awards. The early deadline is April 4, 2018, and the regular deadline is April 20, 2018.
To ensure transparency in the judging process, PRSA Sunshine District’s Radiance Awards are scored by a PRSA chapter outside of the Sunshine District. Below are the winners of the Radiance Awards from years prior.
