Each spring, the crème de la crème of Toronto’s public relations community gather to recognize and celebrate the best, brightest and most promising in the industry.
The CPRS Toronto 2012 ACE Awards are just around the corner, and the time has come to dig in your heels and submit your very best work for evaluation. This year’s gala event will be held on April 26, 2012 at the newly renovated Bram and Bluma Appel Salon, on the second floor of the Toronto Reference Library. Stay tuned for more details!
The ACE Awards were created to recognize communications excellence in the practice of public relations. All CPRS members and associates, full-time public relations and marketing professionals in the Greater Toronto Area, and students who are enrolled in a full-time public relations or communications program are eligible to enter.
How do I enter?
In just two easy steps, you could be on your way to ACE.
First, enter an executive summary of your project electronically through the online entry form on the CPRS Toronto website by January 26, 2012.
Once a team of experienced communicators have reviewed the applications, those who have been short-listed will be asked to submit a full entry.
That’s it!
Note that students are only required to submit the first stage of submission, an executive summary and rationale for their campaign.
What’s in it for me?
Winning an ACE Award will earn you industry recognition, will strengthen your strategic communication skills and will get your work known by Toronto’s public relations community. Beyond that, you will have the opportunity to celebrate your success with your friends and colleagues at the hottest PR event in town!
What if I’m not short-listed?
You still benefit from the submission process, even if you are not selected for the next stage of application. All those who are not short-listed will still receive valuable feedback and suggestions for improvement.
So don’t hesitate! Get started on your entry today! And be sure to save the date for this year’s gala on Thursday, April 26, 2012!
