“As in previous years, the categories are in line with the IPRA Golden Awards,” says von Holdt , “and we have for the first time included individual categories.”
Entries have been received from small, medium and large agencies, as well as from corporate practitioners across a variety of categories from PR On A Shoestring, Corporate Communication, Media Relations and Consumer PR, among others. Individual categories include Most Creative, Best PR Educator and Best Up and Coming PR Professional.
This year's panel of 12 judges comprise a stellar cast of media professionals, industry experts and international thought leaders. Among them are 702 host David O'Sullivan, Mercury Media's Morne Ebersohn, Nixon Kariithi (Wits) and international judge Colin Farrington (CIPR).
The PRISM Awards, now in its eleventh year, recognises excellence within the PR and communication industry. “The advertising industry has the Loeries,” says von Holdt, “and the PR industry celebrates its peers with the PRISM Awards.”
The PRISM Award ceremony takes place at Vodaworld on 26 March. Sponsors of this year's event include FX Productions, Vodaworld Events and Monitoring SA
