Earn Recognition for Your outstanding recent work

The WHPRMS Prestige Awards showcase the excellence and success of our members' work in the practice of healthcare public relations and marketing. This is a judged awards program for WHPRMS members' work completed–and results measured–between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025.

  • Application form opens: June 2, 2025
  • Entry Deadline: July 18, 2025
  • Entry Fee: $35 per project or three projects for $100.

Winning entries will be honored during an awards banquet at the WHPRMS Annual Conference, September 25, 2025, at Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells.

Categories

Any current WHPRMS member may enter; the member must have been on the project team. Agencies may enter on behalf of their WHPRMS member clients.

Eligible projects may be entered for recognition in two categories:

  • Single-Channel/Asset Campaign: Any campaign that uses a single channel or asset (example: a single logo design, website redesign, publication, etc.)

  • Multi-Channel/Asset Campaign:  Any campaign that uses multiple channels or assets (example: entire rebranding, online presence re-design, etc.) Special events should be included in this category.

    For each project you enter, you will submit a concise summary of your project's objective, implementation, cost and results.

Awards

A panel of unbiased judges from the field of healthcare marketing and communications will review and score the entries on a numeric scale. Judges are asked to provide written comments for the entrant. All entries that qualify based on their numeric score will receive and Award of Excellence or and Award of Merit on September 25, 2025, during the WHPRMS Annual Conference, at Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells. Additionally, a letter of recognition will be sent to the CEO of each winning organization.

Carol Mehlberg Award:  The Prestige entry that most effectively demonstrates thorough planning, execution, and results, as well as creativity and innovation receives extra recognition–the Carol Mehlberg Award.
