The late deadline (additional fee required) is on 6 November.
The African Sabre Awards are well-established, and the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey competition is now in its second year—both contributed winners to our Global Sabre Awards, which take place in Chicago next month and recognise the best public relations work from around the world last year.
The Australia and New Zealand Sabre Awards are new this year, acknowledging the high-quality work being done in that part of the world, which has featured prominently in our Asia-Pacific SABRE competition but now has its own local competition.
The Sabre Awards recognise Superior Achievement in Branding, Reputation and Engagement, and have a 40-year heritage, having launched in North America and expanded to include competitions in EMEA, Asia-Pacific, South Asia and Latin America, in addition to the three regions currently open for entries.
Recent years have demonstrated conclusively that great public relations work is being led out of every region and multiple markets.
The top 40 public relations campaigns in the world last year originated in 20 different countries and include campaigns by agencies of all sizes and specialist expertise, as well as from some of the world's largest corporations and non-profits.
The Sabre Awards are unique in offering a global platform to work from markets large and small.
