The CIPR Excellence Awards 2013 is set to be hotly contested, with more than 160 entries in 28 categories on a shortlist revealed today.

The consultancies, in-house teams and individuals drawn from over 700 entries will now be put through their paces via a series of face-to-face interviews from a team of over 80 expert judges, before the winners are finally chosen and announced at the Excellence Awards black tie dinner at the London Hilton on Park Lane on Monday 3 June.

The awards dinner, now in its 29th year, is the most prestigious annual celebration of the public relations profession, with up to 900 guests attending from across the industry.
