CUPPIE Awards

Since 2005, CUPRAP has recognized outstanding creative work in higher education marketing and communications through the CUPPIE Awards. This members-only competition honors excellence across a range of categories, including advertising, electronic media, print, public relations and marketing, writing, and photography.


The submission period opens each fall, and entries are reviewed by independent industry professionals with no affiliation with the submitting institutions. Winners are celebrated during CUPRAP’s annual conference, held in March of each year.
