We know that a common complaint from comms professionals is a lack of recognition for their work. The #UnAwards22 is your chance to change that. In a big way.
by Darren Caveney
Whether it’s a brilliant campaign, managing communications through a crisis, or just turning up every day of the year and being the best you can be, it’s not a lot to ask to get the odd ‘well done’ or ‘thank you’.
But it doesn’t happen often enough for many and that is one of the reasons behind the comms2point UnAwards - to shine a light on the professionals proudly flying comms, pr, marketing and digital flags across the sectors.
Now there’s only one thing better than being shortlisted for an award - that’s being nominated by someone else for an award. It’s a special thing. It means you’ve caught someone’s eye, demanded their attention or impressed them with your creativity, doggedness, enthusiasm or skills.
Know someone like that? Then why not nominate them in the UnAwards22?
There are three categories which really lend themselves to nominations:
- Best comms/digital team
- Lifetime achievement UnAward (three previous winners are pictured above)
- Supporting health and wellbeing in communications
To nominate an individual or team in any of these three categories please use the simple, new online entry form created by official partners CAN Digital.
Accessible is good, right?
The UnAwards were created with a very clear mission - to make them the most accessible industry awards around. And where the community were actively involved in shaping and deciding some of the winners.
So, best of all you, the comms community, gets to choose the winners through a public vote in the first two categories above, as well as in the 'Guest post of the year' category.
The public vote will go live on 11 November.
HOW LONG HAVE I GOT TO NOMINATE SOMEONE?
The closing date is 31 October (midnight) so get nominating.
P.S. please be aware that the UnAwards deadline is never extended.
BE THERE ON THE DAY…
