Awards season is upon us (well the shortlisting at least) and I was thrilled to be invited to join the judging panel for the @PRCA HQ Dare Awards this year.
Armed with my trusty spreadsheets and a whole lot of fantastic entries, I got down to the challenge of sorting through each category and picking out and scoring the best of the best. It was no easy feat – the competition was fierce!
But I was proud to be a part of the judging team for some pretty exciting categories, like Large Consultancy of the Year, Public Sector Award, Rising Star of the Year, and Team Culture and Community Award. And the entries did not disappoint.
There were some great examples of creativity, innovation and dedication to employee well-being, business growth and impact across a number of entries. It was clear that there are plenty of teams who are pushing boundaries and helping set the standard for excellence in the industry.
The rising star entries had impressive individuals who are set for great things within the PR industry – the future looks exciting!
To all the entrants across all categories – good luck! You’ve already achieved so much just by being a part of these awards. We know how valuable it is to win awards, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you all.
Thanks for letting me be part of your awards journey.
Lorna.
