CIPR Excellence Awards – one week left to enter the profession’s most credible competition
There is just one week to go until the 26 February deadline for public relations professionals to enter their work into the 2013 CIPR Excellence Awards.
With a team of more than 80 judges in place, and all shortlisted entrants attending a 20-minute panel interview where an expert panel decides the award winners, the CIPR Excellence Awards are the most rigorous and thorough in their field. On top of this, the Institute has reinforced its commitment to professionalism and credibility in this year’s awards by taking a best practice approach on the use of Advertising Value Equivalence (AVE) in award entries. Our new ruling is that entries which include AVEs will be awarded a score of zero for the research, planning, measurement and evaluation section of the judging, even if included alongside other valid measurement metrics.
To assist entrants in writing their entries the Institute has also made the following resources freely available:
We want to celebrate the most professional, most creative, and most outstanding achievements in public relations. Setting the highest possible standards for our entrants is what makes our awards the most credible in the profession. There is really no greater recognition of professionalism, achievement and best practice than to win a CIPR Excellence Award.
The deadline for entries is Tuesday 26 February 2013 at 18:00, with late entries being accepted until 18:00 on Monday 4 March 2013 at an additional cost.
