The Public Relations Association of Uganda (PRAU) is thrilled to announce the return of the PRAU Excellence Awards. After a hiatus since 2016, this prestigious annual event is back to recognize and celebrate outstanding achievements and contributions in the field of public relations and communications in Uganda.
As a leading professional association that brings together PR and communication practitioners in Uganda, the PRAU Excellence Awards play a vital role in promoting best practices, providing professional development opportunities, and elevating the standards of the public relations industry in the country.
The awards serve as a platform to honour individuals, organisations, campaigns, and initiatives that have demonstrated excellence, innovation, and effectiveness in the field of public relations and communication. More than just a celebration of achievements, these awards also inspire and encourage the continued growth and development of the public relations industry in Uganda.
“The 2023 PRAU Excellence Awards are nothing short of awe-inspiring! Join us in celebrating outstanding achievements within our industry by submitting your entries. Your dedication and hard work deserve recognition, and these awards are a testament to your commitment to excellence. Don’t miss the opportunity to showcase your achievements and elevate your brand.
