Excellence Awards

The CIPR Excellence Awards are the most credible in the PR profession. If you only enter one national awards competition in 2012, choose the one that counts.

The recognition you deserve

Winning a prestigious award from the PR profession's Chartered body. There's no greater recognition of your hard work and achievements.

CIPR Excellence Awards prove to your board, new and existing clients, and your colleagues that you are at the cutting edge, that you are on top of your game and that you take best practice in your profession seriously.

In a study by University of Leicester for the British Quality Foundation and the European Foundation for Quality Management, award winning companies showed an improved financial performance after just one year of winning their first award. After three years, the benefits were even greater.
