Call For Entries: PR Newswire Vietnam Launches National PR & Communications Awards

The awards celebrate the year's outstanding communications programs and

recognize trailblazers in the country's fast-growing public relations industry.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Ho Chi Minh City on April 13.

Organized by PR Newswire Vietnam, the National PR & Communications Awards are open

to all organisations and agencies. Spanning ten categories, the awards cover a broad spectrum

of disciplines in the public relations and communications field. The award categories are:

--Multimedia Communications Award

--Content & Storytelling Award  

--Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Communications Award  

--Global PR Campaign Award

--Innovation Communications Award  

--Brand Expansion Award  

--Vietnam Brand -- Global Impact Award

--Media Relations Campaign Award  

--Internal Communications Award

--Crisis & Issue Management Award

The National PR & Communications Awards is poised to become a leading platform

for the recognition of PR professionals in Vietnam, covering initiatives by an extensive

range of local and international companies. The awards aim to affirm and promote best

practices in Vietnam's dynamic public relations industry.

As one of the top emerging economies in South-east Asia, Vietnam has seen strong

economic expansion fuelled by its transformation into a global manufacturing hub

and robust foreign direct investment. These developments have encouraged more

home-grown companies to build up their brand presence locally and expand overseas

in recent years. Globally, more international companies are also targeting the Vietnamese

market. These business trends have led to a thriving demand for more diversified and

sophisticated communications services in the country.

Mai Anh Le, Country Manager of PR Newswire Vietnam, said: "Over the past two years,

we have seen more companies in Vietnam shift their focus from paid to earned media.

Securing coverage by third-party media outlets has added credibility to their campaigns

and content. With the National PR & Communications Awards, we hope to showcase campaigns

that have impacted audiences and foster a vibrant public relations community in Vietnam."

Nationwide call for nominations

The call for nominations will start from February 3. Applicants can submit

online forms for the respective categories here (https://vn.prnasia.com/award/2020/en/?utm_source=prnasia&utm_medium=press_release&utm_campaign=pr).

Shortlisted applicants will be judged by an independent panel of reputable

industry leaders and senior communications experts. More details about the

criteria that include originality and business impact of campaigns.                                                

The finalists and winners will be celebrated at a ceremony and gala dinner at

the Sofitel Saigon Plaza in Ho Chi Minh City on April 13. The results will also

be announced on PR Newswire's online and social media platforms to a global

network of media partners and journalists.
