With the entry deadline less than a month away (Monday, 15 February), this session is the last opportunity that entrants will have to get all their questions answered face-to-face about how to submit an award-winning entry. “Prepping for PRISMs” takes place on Thursday, 28 January at the PRISA offices in Randburg and on Friday, 29 January in Cape Town.
“The ‘Prepping for PRISMs’ session is the ideal opportunity for entrants to be guided through the online process – and get all their questions answered,” says PRISM Convenor Bridget von Holdt. “It will also give us valuable feedback on how we can improve the system”.
In addition to addressing online judging, the three-hour long programme is packed with tools and tips from talented public relations professionals – all with the aim of equipping entrants on how to impress the judges – and beat the competition.
The draft programme includes:
- An Outline of the New Categories and the Online Registration System: Bridget von Holdt – Convenor: PRISM Awards;
- Entry and Judging Guidelines:- Marilyn Watson – founding partner: Cinnamon Communication;
- Social Media and Its Impact on the Public Relations Industry: Francois Vorster - chief disruptor: Integrated Marketing Solutions;
- Case studies – A Detailed Insight into Award-winning Entries: Kevin Welman – managing director: FleishmanHillard; and
- What Makes a Winning Entry: Atmosphere Communications.
The cost of the workshop is R450 for non-members and R350 for PRISA and PRCC members.
