- Thomas Jefferson Award for Public Relations Excellence: Recognizing a seasoned public relations practitioner for his or her contributions to the profession
- Rising Star: Recognizing an outstanding new practitioner with five or fewer years of professional public relations experience

Please note that while the Commonwealth and Capital awards are open to practitioners working across Virginia, recipients of the Thomas Jefferson and Rising Star awards must work in the Greater Richmond metropolitan region.
In case you haven’t submitted an entry online before – or just need a refresher – we’ll be offering help sessions at the Jefferson Lakeside Country Club immediately following both the January and February PRSA Richmond luncheons.
If you have any immediate questions or need assistance concerning this year’s application process or awards program, please contact Greg Surber at gsurber@hodgespart.com or (804) 788-6893.
Don’t forget to save the date for the awards ceremony: The 69th Virginia Public Relations Awards will be Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts!
