The IPRA Golden World Awards for Excellence (GWA): the world’s most prestigious PR awards scheme, announces today a total of 70 winners for 2023. A number of entries tackled emerging issues such as cryptocurrency, influencer management and virtual reality.
The GWA jury of experts met in person for the first time since the pandemic. At an inspiring session in London’s Institute of Directors, the entries were seen by teams of judges. The jury comprised judges from all over the world including Austria, Bulgaria, Egypt, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Saudi Arabia, The Philippines, the USA and the UK.
“This year we had entries covering multiple subjects and there was a notable demonstration of creativity from all around the world,” explains Philip Sheppard, IPRA’s Secretary General. "We learnt of stories such as prejudice in Peru, solitary bees in Croatia and tackling fake news in Ukraine.”
The prestigious Grand Prix was also chosen but the judges have been sworn to secrecy. Along with the Global Contribution Award for PR with an objective of meeting one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, the Grand Prix will be announced at the GWA Gala on 20 October in Barcelona. Tickets are available here.
