What PR professionals ask us
What is the difference between Media and PR here?+
Media (newspapers, television, magazines, social media) report stories editorially. PR professionals represent clients, prepare and place stories, and look after reputation. Each has its own page.
Can we enter or nominate our clients?+
Yes. Use Find My Award to see which categories fit each client, then enter or nominate them. Entry is free.
Does working with the awards help a client win?+
No. Independent judges score every entry against the category criteria. PR, partnership and sponsorship have no influence on results.
Can we get logos, photography and press materials?+
Yes: the media pack is open, and approved photography and assets are available on request once announcements are made.
Do you work with both online and offline PR?+
Yes. Digital press releases, social media PR and online reputation work sit alongside print and broadcast pitching, press events and interviews.
Could we become the awards’ PR partner?+
Possibly. Tell us what you have in mind; what a partnership involves is agreed together before anyone commits.
Your clients have done something worth recognising.
Help them find the right award, and the right way to tell the story.
