PRSP launches a digital 54th Anvil Awards


The Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP) is inviting private companies, government agencies, non-government organizations, educational institutions, public relations agencies and other organizations to submit their outstanding PR programs and tools as entries to the 54th Anvil Awards.

PRSP Vice President-Internal and Chair of the 54th Anvil Awards Andy B. Saracho, APR, announced that, for the first time in the history of PRSP and the Anvil Awards, a digital Anvil Awards has been launched and that entries can be submitted online through the official website www.anvil-awards.prsp.ph.

“This is a breakthrough for PRSP as we use a digital system for registration, nomination and submission of entries, payment, screening and judging. At last, we are able to catch up with advances in technology in our global environment to recognize outstanding PR campaigns and promote excellence in the PR practice,” Saracho said. “The digital system will also reduce manhours and cost of reproducing six (6) copies of the entries as everything, except for Publications, will be submitted online. It also means that the 54th Anvil Awards is more environment-friendly as less paper will be used in the process.”

The Anvil Awards is presented annually by PRSP, the premier organization of PR professionals in the country. Over the past 53 years, the Anvil has become a symbol of excellence, the “Oscar” in the Philippine PR industry.

PR campaigns undertaken from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018 are eligible to be submitted as entries to the Awards. Entry fee is P12,600 for PRSP members and P15,750 for non-PRSP members.  Entry submission opened on October 1, 2018 and will close on November 9, 2018.

The Anvil Awards has two main categories: PR Programs and PR Tools. Entries can be categorized as PR Programs on a Sustained Basis, PR Programs Directed at Specific Stakeholders, or Specialized PR Programs.
