Postponement Notice
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Singapore, and the very real concerns about travelling and attending events in the month of March, the PR Awards will be postponed. Don’t worry, it will happen, but we ask for your patience while we monitor the situation. A new date, along with the shortlist of finalists, will be announced as soon as containment progress is at appropriate levels.
For more questions or to understand more, please contact Czarina Solomon at +65 81126351 or czarinas@marketing-interactive.com.

Health Advisory
Let us work together to minimise the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) by practicing responsible behaviours.
For your own health and safety, we advise you to wear your own mask during the event if you are feeling less than your usual self, have a low immunity or are pregnant.
If you are feeling on top of the world and would still like to wear a mask as a precautionary measure – please do!
Do avoid shaking hands and making physical contact. Remember to wash/sanitise your hands regularly.
Most importantly, let us not live in fear and panic. Instead, as a community of marketers, let us keep our businesses moving forward, for the benefit of clients, company and self. Stay resilient.
Our Care For You
For the purpose of contact tracing (if the need arises), you are required to produce your name card for us to register your attendance.
All event attendees will go through a temperature screening. Anyone with a temperature of more than 37.5 degrees Celsius will not be allowed to participate in the event.
Hand sanitisers will be provided by the hotel venue (when available).
