2023 AWARDS
On the first Tuesday in May 2023, Tri-Cities area PR and communications professionals made an exciting Run for the Roses as they accepted awards and recognition for the best communications and public relations work in the Tri-Cities.
The 2023 Tri-Cities PRSA Awards Dinner was filled with colorful derby talk as friends and colleagues gathered for food and fun, wearing beautiful and creative derby hats and bowties. From Kentucky Hot Browns to Derby Pie, the evening was filled with celebration in the spirit of the Kentucky Derby.
Twenty-one communications and public relations projects crossed the finish line with awards of Excellence (first place), Quality (second place) or Merit (third place) in various categories.
