The limitation doesn’t apply to ‘BusinessDesk PR Consultancy of the Year’, ‘PR In-house Team of the Year’, and ‘Sally Logan-Milne Young Practitioner of the Year’; however, please be aware that an overload of information may not work in your favour. Please select the supporting materials carefully.

Yes, you are encouraged to write each of your entries specifically to the category. You can have different entry titles for your entries.

PRINZ is aware that public relations work can be of a sensitive nature. You have the option to indicate on the entry form if your entry is confidential. If you mark your entry as confidential, and are judged a finalist or winner, only the title and 100 word synopsis will be included in the PRINZ Awards Case Studies Booklet.

If you do not wish to identify a client, you may refer to them as “the client” or “our client” in the synopsis. Furthermore, specific segments of the entry – financial information for example – may be marked as confidential and therefore excluded from the Case Studies Booklet.

As with all entries, a confidential entry is only viewed by the individuals involved in the judging process. At the stage one level, entries are blinded. At the second stage of judging (category judging), entries are not blinded but judges of all stages are required to sign a confidentiality agreement and declare any conflict of interest.

The PRINZ Awards case studies are an invaluable resource of local examples that showcase the breath of activity in the industry. It is therefore recommended that members do not select ‘confidential’ for their entries unless the work is of a highly sensitive nature.

Yes, you will be asked to indicate whether you’d like to receive judges’ comments in the entry form.

Finalists will be announced in late April 2024, with final results announced at the PRINZ Awards Gala Dinner in May 2024.

The 2024 PRINZ Awards Gala Dinner will be held on 29 May.
