Big Apple

This marks a return to an in-person event for the awards after the 2020 Big Apple Awards were celebrated as a virtual four-day experience. The event, which will also be livestreamed, honors the Big Apple Award winners and Honorable Mention recipients, the 15 Under 35 Award Winners, and the PRSA-NY Chapter’s Individual Award recipients. PRSA-NY president Andrew Graham said that this year’s awards will showcase “the versatility and effectiveness of PR practitioners during a time of uncertainty and change.” Tickets for the event, as well as registration for the livestream, are available now.
