The InSpire Awards, modeled after PRSA's national Silver and Bronze Anvil Awards, are open to all public relations, communications and marketing agencies and teams as well as solo practitioners. The awards recognize excellence in public relations and communications, and include 36 individual categories for media relations, social media, public affairs, marketing, investor relations and more.
Silver InSpire Awards recognize programs or campaigns that meet the highest standards of performance in the profession, while Bronze InSpire Awards honor specific tactics or components of programs or campaigns.
The InSpire Awards Banquet will be held Wednesday, May 5 at Brier Creek Country Club in Raleigh. WRAL News Anchor Bill Leslie has agreed to emcee this year's event, and Business Wire has signed on as a Gold Sponsor.
"Our inaugural InSpire Awards proved to be a great success last year, and we look to build upon that experience by honoring even more outstanding communications efforts this year," said NCPRSA President Chuck Norman, APR. "To save a few dollars, members and non-members are encouraged to take advantage of the early bird entry fees."
