CommsCon Awards now open for entry
Entries are now open for the 2014 CommsCon Awards, celebrating the best work and people in the world of public relations, communications and social media.
Now in its second year, the CommsCon Awards have been extended with an increased emphasis on celebrating individuals working in PR and communications roles, and agencies of all sizes.
After the success of categories to recognise PR leadership and new talent last year, additional people categories include recognition for Australasia’s best in-house and agency PR professionals, and the PR thinker of the year. Also new for this year is recognition for the specialist PR skill offered by publicists.
Like we really need more awards!
Here we have 26 categories, and a $242 entry price. If only ten entries per category came in, that’s $62,920 of revenue. A handy little earner.
Then there’s the ‘gala awards night’ no doubt….
Some agencies have fulltime staff who do nothing else. That’s who enters these things.
How about spending our time actually earning money, or even doing pro-bono work, rather than the pointless public onanism of awards?
