The Communications & Public Relations Australia (CPRA) Golden Target Awards has returned for its 49th year to celebrate Australia’s PR and communication industry.

Bronze, Silver, and Gold trophies are up for grabs across five major award sections: Agency, Campaign, Education, Individual, and Teams. Judges will also be awarding two Platinum trophies drawn from the pool of Gold trophy winners in the Excellence in Measurement and Evaluation and National Campaign of the Year categories.

This year, the CPRA has introduced updates to the category line-up in response to the evolving landscape of the industry. This includes seven new campaign categories, sector-specific individual categories, and a new Platinum Award for National Leader of the Year.

Early-bird entries are now open, with discounted rates available until Friday, 18th July. The shortlist will be announced on the 1st of October, and winners will be revealed at the National Awards Night on the 30th of October at Sheraton Grand Sydney, Hyde Park.
