Each year, PRSA-OKC recognizes the best of the best through the Upper Case Awards. With more than 50 categories covering an array of Public Relations, Communications and Marketing functions, the Upper Case Awards are open to members and non-members alike.

Proceeds from the Upper Case Awards benefit scholarships for local university students preparing for a career in public relations.

Upper Case entry categories were significantly revised in 2023 to provide greater conformity to the Bronze and Silver Anvil Award categories maintained by PRSA National, with some modifications reflecting the uniqueness of the Oklahoma City market.  Industry-specific recognition is available in a variety of award categories.
