Message from the IPRA President: The road to Barcelona July 2018
5 years, 9 months ago
It’s just over 2 weeks ago that judges for the 2018 IPRA Golden World Awards convened in Brussels to determine this year’s winners. Like always the meeting, lasting all day, proved to be one of the highlights in the volunteer work these judges put in at IPRA. Settling down throughout the hours of evaluation of shortlisted entries in 37 categories, the judges held many spirited discussions on their individual merits. Whoever would have opportunity to wander around the clustered groups of judges would hear mention of trends and views of the application of current communication strategies. The entries come literally from around the world, representing in total 42 countries from the winners shortlist alone. Hence the assignments and challenges of the shortlisted entries vary widely. As do chosen solutions.
