IBP announce improvements to this year’s Communication Awards

Launching the “Call for Entries” for the 2015 IBP Communication and PR Awards Gerald Bowey, IBP chief executive, also announced the launch of the new IBP website, which has been rebuilt to accommodate a faster more user-friendly Awards entry process that will save time both in preparing material for entry and downloading information to the site, in a simpler pdf format.

Commenting Bowey said: “our sector is now largely driven by electronic delivery of information and it is important that IBP provides a compatible, easy to use entry process to make the experience as painless as possible!”

He went on “I am delighted that CAPSIG are partnering us again this year to ensure that the high standards of entries are maintained and promoted to as wide an audience as possible.”

Paul Wilkinson, chairman of the CIPR’s Construction and Property Special Interest Group (CAPSIG), said: “Judged by their peers and by industry journalists, previous winners of the IBP Communication and PR Awards all demonstrated sector-specific skills, knowledge, creativity and professionalism. This is a unique opportunity for built environment specialists to be rewarded for their expertise and flair.”

Here’s what some of last year’s winners say about the Awards:

“The IBP Communication Awards offered me a unique chance to showcase some of my best work across my peer group. I learnt a great deal throughout my experience with IBP, and winning the Young Communicator of the Year has really bolstered my own profile and contacts in the built environment.”

“Having our work recognized by IBP is important to us as an agency. The award judges are leading figures across the built environment so their endorsement of what we do reinforces our reputation in the sector and demonstrates we’re making an impact and adding value to our clients’ business.”

Mike Conway, Camargue
