Kickoff for the Swiss Award-CC

This sculpture was designed specifically for the Swiss Award Corporate Communications and is reissued each year in a limited edition. Cast in stainless steel and weighing 2.5 kg, these «Communicator» sculptures symbolize two heads communicating amid flowing waves of water and air.Projects can now be submitted via the website www.Award-CC.com, where the submission and evaluation criteria are also outlined. Entries submitted by May 31, 2015, will qualify for an early-bird special rate.Projects, which must be submitted by July 15, do not need to be completed yet but should demonstrate initial results. In addition, they should integrate three communication disciplines, address various target audiences, and be integrated into an organization’s overall communication strategy. Awards will be given to the best communication projects that meet these requirements and pursue an integrated approach in a creative manner. Starting this year, the only nationwide award in the field of corporate communications is actively supported by pr suisse as an industry partner. The submitted projects will be evaluated by a professional jury composed of experts from both the academic and practical fields of corporate communications. The two-stage process is based on evaluation criteria that have been optimized in collaboration with pr suisse and the jury. This year’s awards ceremony will take place on September 10 in Zurich. The winners will receive the coveted «Communicators« trophies created by the renowned Ticino sculptor Pedro Pedrazzini. All nominees and winners will also receive a label for their promotional materials and a certificate at the awards ceremony. Last year, the communication projects »Eclat/Rod« for “Integrated Communication SBB” and “Swiss Life” for “Transformation Communication in Three Acts” were honored as winners.
