IPRA Golden World Award winners for excellence in public relations

Karachi—The International Public Relations Association (IPRA) has chosen the winners of its 2008 Golden World Awards for Excellence in public relations.

A statement issued here on Friday said the winning campaigns ranged from launching Virgin 1 television in the UK to a global campaign for World Hunger Relief Week.

It said the IPRA judges chose 28 category winners from 117 finalists out of 404 entries from 52 countries.

“The prestige associated with winning a Golden World Awards category is clearly demonstrated by the number of entries received again this year. It is especially gratifying to see entries from countries where public relations is still a relatively new profession. Some particularly good entries were received from Brazil, Hungary, Turkey, and Poland,” said Jury Chair, Michael Regester.

The GWA prize ceremony will take place at a gala dinner in London on June 10, it was further pointed out.—APP
