In a change for 2020, this year judges have shortlisted entrants across five specialist categories, in addition to the best agency and in-house accolades – see the full list below.
Disruption caused by the coronavirus means the next stage of judging – the question and answer sessions with judges – will take place via video link, rather than in person.
That will happen next week, with the results to be announced online at the end of April.
PRWeek would like to thank everybody who entered the Best Places to Work Awards 2020, and to congratulate the finalists.
