Judging Methodology and Scoring Rubric

In 2024, PRSA-OKC implemented a new scoring methodology to provide additional guidance to both entrants and judges. The new system utilizes a rubric, providing opportunities for both objective and subjective evaluation.

Entrants will be judged on Research, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation.

Please review your entry carefully to comply with the requirements.
