UPDATE ON PPC QUARTERLY AWARDS 2022

  • We’ll be continuing with the digital submissions format going forward, after its success the past two years.
  • Our awards email address for submissions and any queries is publicitycircleawards@gmail.com.
  • PLEASE NOTE, the word count for the campaign statement has been extended to 1000-1500 words. Anything over 1500 words will not be considered by the judges, so please do keep tightly to the new word count.
  • The forms have been updated both to reflect the longer campaign statement and to add a section for defining areas of responsibilities on campaigns with more than one publicist.
  • We’ve also created a set of category definitions to help you work out the best category to submit your campaigns. These can be seen here, and are also linked on the form.
  • We’re planning to hold a digital info session on best practice for awards submissions and campaign statements in due course – please watch this space for more information.

With all that said, the deadlines for the 2022 awards are as follows:
