The PRIMA NC Marketing & Communications Awards recognize exceptional work in marketing, communications, and public relations across the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS). These awards honor the creativity, innovation, and impact of professionals who inform, inspire, and engage their communities through strategic communication.
Awards will be presented at the PRIMA NC Annual Conference, taking place September 17–19, 2025. Entries are evaluated by judges from outside the NCCCS on the basis of strategy, execution, creativity, and measurable results. There is no cost to enter. Submit one form per entry. All materials are due by August 1, 2025.
We welcome entries from individuals or teams—whether the project had a large budget or was created with resourceful creativity. This is your chance to share your work, inspire others, and celebrate the vital role communications plays in student success and community engagement.
We encourage submissions from all communications, marketing, and public relations professionals working in North Carolina community colleges. While external vendors may have assisted with execution, the creative concept must originate from the college, and entries must be submitted by college staff—not agencies.
You do not need to attend the conference to participate, but we hope you’ll plan to join us for the awards celebration in September!
