Event Overview
How the UK Competition Works
A brief will be set by the PRCA's Charity Partner (to be revealed at a later date) who will act as the client, and participating teams will be given 24 hours to create a campaign.
The UK competition will replicate the Cannes Lions competition as much as possible.
Timeline
The cost to enter is £300+vat per (PRCA member) team and £400+vat per (non-member) team. The competition is only open to consultancies. The UK competition will take place over an identical timeframe as the Cannes PR Young Lions Competition, but during a working day: Thursday, 4th March, 2021, 10:00 - Friday, 5th March, 2021, 10:00 (24 hours). The brief is provided by a PRCA Charity In-house member. It will be circulated by email at 10:00 on Thursday 4th March.
Completed campaigns will need to be emailed back to the PRCA by 10:00 on Friday 5th March - in the form of a 10 page PowerPoint presentation, a 1 page summary slide and a written submission of no more than 450 words delivered as a Word document. Campaigns will then be judged by a UK Jury.
A shortlist of 6 campaigns will be invited to London (or will be held virtually via zoom COVID regulations dependant) on Monday, 22nd March, 2021 to deliver a 5 minute presentation to the Jury, explaining the PR campaign.
The winning team will be notified by Tuesday, 23rd March, 2021
