Time running out to take part in PRCA's new DARE awards scheme
The deadline for entering the PRCA's new DARE Awards, which are being supported by The Drum Network and form part of the forthcoming series of national conference for PR professionals, closes tomorrow, Thursday 27th March.
The PRCA DARE Events programme will consist of five DARE conferences and award programmes held in five cities across the UK – Edinburgh, Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds and Brighton – with each conference being tailored to specifically address the key themes affecting all PR professionals; specifically the future of new business, talent and regional benchmarking.
The DARE Awards will take place on the evening of each DARE Conference and will include categories such as the Consumer Relations Award, Digital and Social Strategy Award, Corporate, Financial and Stakeholder Relations Award, Public Sector and Third Sector Award and In-house Team of the Year Award among others.
The awards are open to all parties involved in the use of PR for communications purposes, including: PR consultancies, In-house communication departments, digital agencies, marketing teams and media owners.
Francis Ingham, director general at the PRCA, said: “The newly formed DARE Awards recognise excellence within the regions of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some great work is being done outside London, and we look forward to celebrating that fact and recognising excellence at the 2014 DARE Awards ceremonies. The National PRCA Awards recognise the cream of nationwide PR. You can enter both.”
The DARE Conferences are also being supported by headline partner marketiers4dc and other partners include Capstone Hill Search, FirstPointPrint, Kingston Smith W1, Lewis Silkin, National Apprenticeship Scheme and Creative Process, Prospect Resourcing and PR Newswire.
