The CIPR have announced that this year the PRide Awards ceremony in the West of England will see the launch of a new regional ‘Freelancer of the Year’ award.

Supported by Xchangeteam, this ‘alternative’ section of the awards ceremony will be known as ‘PRide – on the side’. The other great news is that it’s free to enter!

If you would like to enter or nominate somebody, please send a 500-word summary of your/their professional achievements since July 2008 to Tom.Bowden-Green@trimediauk.com. Entries should describe the PR activity undertaken and include some means of evaluation. The closing date for entries is 9th October 2009. Entrants/nominees must be based in the CIPR West of England region.

All summaries will be assessed by a panel of judges from the region. One winner will be announced at the PRide Awards ceremony in Bristol.

If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to contact Tom Bowden Green on 0117 9292311 or Liz Snell at Xchangeteam on 01275 847774.
