#PRAwards Key Dates
Celebrating PR Leadership in Multi‑Channel Communications!
For more than a decade, the PR Awards has championed excellence, innovation, and leadership in the North Asia public relations industry. As we step into our 13th year in 2026, we invite the industry to recognise work that not only captures attention, but connects with audiences seamlessly across multiple channels, builds trust, shapes reputation, and drives real influence in an increasingly complex communications landscape.
In an era defined by heightened scrutiny, fragmented media environments, and evolving stakeholder expectations, exceptional PR work goes beyond creative ideas — it demonstrates clarity of strategy, channel integration, and the ability to deliver consistent, credible messages across owned, earned, shared, and paid platforms.
43
From reputation management and integrated communications to crisis response and long‑term brand building, we celebrate work that delivers meaningful outcomes at every touchpoint. With a diverse line‑up of 43 categories, the PR Awards continues to provide a comprehensive platform for showcasing excellence across the industry. Following strong momentum in recent years, we are proud to continue our Talent categories in 2026, recognising outstanding PR teams and individuals who demonstrate leadership, resilience, and the ability to navigate and lead in a multi‑channel communications environment.
Entries will be evaluated by a respected panel of senior communications leaders, ensuring a fair, rigorous, and insightful judging process. As such, the PR Awards remains the definitive benchmark for excellence, offering PR teams and agencies the opportunity to benchmark their work, gain industry recognition, and set new standards for multi‑channel PR excellence.
Join us in celebrating the leaders, strategists, and changemakers who are shaping the future of public relations through integrated, impactful communications. We look forward to your submissions and to recognising the work that truly makes an impact.
