Some of the best PR work starts with a simple idea, a tight deadline or a challenge no one else wanted to tackle. Months later, it becomes the campaign everyone remembers.

The SPRF Lantern Awards are your chance to showcase the strategy, creativity and results behind the work you poured into throughout 2025.

From strategic campaigns to tactical materials, entries are judged by PR professionals outside SPRF’s four-state region using the four-step RPIE process, with top entries earning Certificates of Merit, Awards of Excellence and Lantern Awards.

Submission deadline: June 30, 2026

If there’s a project you’re still proud of, don’t let it stay buried in your portfolio. Submit it.
