Now celebrating its 24th year, the PRWeek Awards are firmly established as the communications industry’s highest accolade. Winning campaigns not only bring praise to the companies they serve but also shed light on the issues that matter. These activations are inclusive, provocative, sometimes controversial but always inspiring. They are visual, viral, visceral and get to the core of issues that may be thought about but are rarely addressed in a public forum.

A PRWeek Award is a unique symbol of excellence, leadership and immediately sets victors apart from all others. It celebrates the best of the best corporate, agency, nonprofit and education teams, and the work they produce.

As the number of ad-supported media opportunities continues to shrink, brands must find unique and interesting ways to integrate with content across a variety of platforms. The Brand Entertainment Awards showcases this renaissance across film, audio, documentaries, live events, products, web series, music festivals, animation, fashion shows, gaming and much more. Rebranded from its previous incarnation as the Brand Film Awards, the program now encompasses and celebrates the full gamut of branded content integrations in modern marketing, including - but not limited to - brand films. This unique awards program uplifts and celebrates the new wave of marketing storytelling as it meshes with consumer entertainment, while rewarding the brands, agencies and craftspeople leading the way in their fields. This program is not for TV commercials. Though it resists easy definition, branded content typically focuses on a story rather than a brand, product or service. Jurors reserve the right to reject any entry they feel does not meet this definition.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has many searching for meaning. With so many either out of work or working in new limited capacities, it’s not surprising that individuals and companies have been reassessing their core values, which, during times like these, comes to light instantly. Some scramble to change behavior to match evolving consumer and stakeholder expectations. For others, the transition to a more purposeful world may come a bit easier simply because they are remaining true to themselves and how they engage their customers and employees.

The Purpose Awards recognizes activations that use creative ideas to further positive causes and also to acknowledge the organizations and individuals behind them. As consumers and potential staffers increasingly insist on brands they engage with and organizations they work for communicating what they believe in and standing up publicly for those values, winning a Purpose Award is the perfect way to demonstrate your organization’s authenticity in this crucial area.
