Northeast Mississippi Community College celebrated its marketing and public relations team, along with interns and the public information department, for their achievements at the 2026 CPRAM Awards. The awards recognize excellence in creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
The college earned first-place awards in four categories. Liz Calvery and Raleigh Downs took top honors for the advertisement “Legends Are Made Here.” The team also won for the fall sports media guide, web page design for the Tiger Town Tailgate website, and the PR and marketing campaign for “Legends.”
Additional accolades included second-place awards for the college’s annual report, a general video titled “At Northeast You Are Never Alone,” and a creative collaboration with Salsa Photo Booth. The college’s interns secured a third-place award for a radio program called “TigerTime,” and Raleigh Downs received recognition for a mental health poster in the new media category.
These honors highlight the college’s ongoing efforts to showcase its programs and engage the community through innovative marketing strategies, according to college officials.
