Professional and Student Award Winners will be honored on Thursday, October 5th, 2023 at our Awards Gala. More details about this year’s awards gala will be forthcoming.

A jury of qualified professionals from the Prairie Gateway Chapter will review each submittal and determine winners in each award category.
