How to enter
The CIPR Northern Ireland Awards are your chance to showcase the impact, innovation, and effectiveness of your communications work over the past year. Whether you are part of an agency, in-house team, public body, or operating independently, if your campaign made a difference, it deserves to be seen.
Step One. Choose Your Categories
There’s a wide range of categories to suit every type of campaign, team, and individual. From sector-specific awards to honours for creativity, measurement, and innovation — review the categories and select the ones that best reflect your achievements.
Tip: You can enter multiple categories and submit the same campaign across more than one — just ensure each entry is tailored.
Step Two. Prepare Your Entry
Each submission requires a written entry of up to 1,000 words covering:
Objectives and Planning
Strategy and Tactics
Creativity and Innovation
Delivery and Implementation
Measurement and Evaluation
You’ll also have the option to include supporting materials such as media coverage, video links, graphics, results dashboards, or testimonials.
Step Three. Submit Online
Entries must be submitted via the official CIPR Northern Ireland PR Awards portal. You’ll need to register an account, upload your entry and supporting materials. Payment by credit card must be completed before submitting your entry, with the payment reference ID included as part of the submission.
