PRINZ Awards Finalists and International Supreme Award Judge

Announcing PRINZ Awards Finalists and International Supreme Award Judge
 
The Public Relations Institute of New Zealand (PRINZ) announces 23 finalists in its annual industry awards. PRINZ is also making a special announcement of the addition of Daniel Tisch, CEO of Argyle Communications in Canada, and Chair of the Global Alliance, to the Supreme Award judging panel. 
 
Category winners and the coveted Supreme Award winner will be revealed at an evening event in Christchurch on 30 May during the PRINZ Annual Conference.
 
Chief Judge Anna Radford says that having an international judge of Daniel’s standing joining the Supreme Award judging panel is testament to the high calibre of entries and the excellent standards being achieved by New Zealand’s public relations industry.
 
“Dan is a highly experienced and professional practitioner, having won more than more than 150 major communications industry awards, and we are delighted to have him on this year’s Supreme Award judging team,” she says.
 
Daniel and Anna will be joined on the Supreme Award judging panel by Cedric Allan, partner at Boag Allan Pirie and a former president of PRINZ.
 
The 2013 awards attracted 58 entries from the corporate, consultancy, not-for-profit and government sectors.  Changes to the number and type of categories have been made this year in order to reflect ongoing evolution within the industry.
 
“One new category was added - Crisis, Issues and Emergency Management – and the former Marketing Communications category was split into two categories:  Marketing Communications (PR) and Marketing Communications (Integrated).  This brings the total number of categories to 13.
 
All winners and highly commended entries will be named at a special event in Christchurch on Thursday May 30 during the PRINZ Annual conference. The coveted Supreme Award winner will also be announced.
