ABOUT
This has been the most demanding of times for communicators.
Their expertise, insights and resilience have been called upon like never before. From a standing start, often without playbooks, they have responded to the needs of their organisation.
We want to celebrate their extraordinary achievements with this one-off celebration. Each category reflects the unique challenges they have faced... and are continuing to face.

Best online external event
From AGMs to virtual summits, organisations have been creative in their efforts to communicate with external stakeholders. We’re looking for events that were either initially planned as physical ones and forced to adapt, or bespoke online events created to reach different stakeholder groups.
Best use of social media
During the current crisis, many organisations have relaxed their social media rules, allowing them to demonstrate a more authentic voice. We are looking for examples of how organisations have reflected the new normal in their social communications.
