PRISM Awards announce judges, get new sponsor
The judging process, which began last week in Johannesburg, has the highest number of PRISM judges, 20, who will judge the 31 categories, according to their expertise. The categories include eight new ones, predominantly focussing on digital and social media, as well as research. Following the category selections, the judges come together to select the gold winners and overall winner from across all categories.
The three chief judges are Marilyn Watson, CEO of Cinnamon Public Relations; Daniel Munslow, director at Talk2Us; and Hayley Kuhn, communication manager from Sanlam.
Munslow says, "We are excited about our judging panels and feel grateful to have such leading professionals in the communication community supporting the awards. I wish them luck with the judging and congratulate the entrants, who will have the opportunity to be scrutinised by some of the best names in the industry."
