2026 PRSA Southern Arizona IMPACT Awards: Grand Outcomes

A Celebration of Communication Excellence at The Grand Tucson Calling all Southern Arizona creatives, strategists, and storytellers! Put on your party hat and join us as we celebrate the very best in our region! About this Event For more than twenty years, the PRSA Southern Arizona annual Impact Awards program has served as a platform for celebrating the accomplishments of communications professionals in our community. This year, the PRSA Southern Arizona Chapter is proud to present the annual IMPACT Awards under an inspiring new theme: "Grand Outcomes: A Celebration of Communication Excellence."When communications and marketing professionals tap into their strategic and creative sides, they do far more than launch campaigns; they drive Grand Outcomes that create measurable value for clients, elevate organizations, and generate opportunities across our community. From outstanding public relations initiatives to brilliant marketing strategies, we are gathering to honor the hard work, dedication, and tangible value that communications professionals bring to Southern Arizona. We are thrilled to bring this year's event to The Grand at Gibson Court, a venue with elegance and charm in the heart of downtown Tucson. Located next to the brand-new Gibson Food Hall and Market and Highwire, Tucson’s destination for molecular mixology, it is the perfect spot to celebrate “grand” campaigns.
