Prism Awards jury selected

15 Feb 2010

PRISA announced the jury for the 2010 Prism Awards last week, which is described by the organisation as a formidable one but necessary after the high number and standard of entries received this year.

Public relations practitioner Marilyn Watson chairs the panel, having previously worked for Multichoice as external communications head. PRISA says Watson is "imminently qualified to judge these awards.” The panel includes two international judges, Jon White and Richard Linning and first time judges, Aaron Ngema, Premilla Hamid, Alistair Mokoena and Peter Sullivan.

According to PRISA, the appointment of Ngema of GEDA is an appropriate move, given that one of its core functions is strategic communications that assist in building mutually beneficial relationships between the agency and its stakeholders, the public and the media.

Panel

Marilyn Watson: freelance public relations practitioner (chair)
Erica Dykes: SA Revenue Services
Dot Field: freelance public relations practitioner
Premilla Hamid: Anglo American
Linda Hamman: Talk2Us
Hayley Kuhn: African Life
Richard Linning: The Stable House Partnership
Alistair Mokoena: Cadbury
Daniel Munslow: Talk2Us
Aaron Ngema: Gauteng Economic Development Agency (GEDA)

Jon White: international communicator and trainer

Awards will be presented to professionals in the public relations and communications industries who have successfully incorporated strategy, creativity and professionalism into their public relations initiatives at the awards ceremony on 31 March 2010 at the Gallagher Convention Centre.
