The 2012 IBAs feature a wide selection of categories to recognize the achievements of PR professionals and we thought it would be helpful if we highlighted five additional awards categories that should be of interest to PR individuals. (The final extended entry deadline for The 2012 International Business Awards, the world's premier business awards competition, is 18 July. You can request your entry kit here.)
In addition to submitting entries specifically labeled as PR awards, there are several communications awards categories including:
- Annual Report Awards Categories
These categories recognize excellence in annual reports, brochures, marketing and sales kits, house organs (corporate magazines), and other publications issued since 1 January 2011. - App Awards Categories
These categories recognize excellence in apps for handheld and tablet devices, and for PCs, issued or updated since 1 January 2011. - Live Event Awards Categories
These categories recognize excellence in live events staged since 1 January 2011. - Video Awards Categories
These categories recognize excellence in videos produced for a business- or work-related purpose that were first released or otherwise made public since 1 January 2011. - Website Awards Categories
These categories recognize excellence in web sites and blogs. There is no eligibility timeframe for these categories - it doesn't matter when the site or blog was first published.
Leave us a comment and let us know which categories your organization plans to submit entries to in the 2012 IBAs.
