The awards competition categories include:

* Public-Media Relations/Education: Programs and activities that educate the public and opinion leaders about the significant contributions the transportation construction industry (or a specific sector of it) makes to the economy and/or quality of life.
The PRIDE Awards program is open to all industry firms, agencies and associations. ARTBA membership is not required. Roads & Bridges magazine is one of the sponsors to this year's awards competition.
