Winning a PPA Award (or even being shortlisted) shows you’re at the top of your game, it can help you attract new talent, and it’s a great way to reward your team for their hard work. The PPA Awards are the most current and prestigious platform to recognise your incredible work.

So, you and your team have been beavering away creating content, products, and partnerships that bring genuine value to your audience. Whether you’re a small or large business, b2b or b2c, our judges are looking to champion the unique and deep engagement you foster as a specialist content provider.

Our 27 categories celebrate almost every job function and every area of magazine media, so there’s a category for everyone and every business. Check them out here if you haven’t already.

To enter you only need to detail your success in 500 words and upload a maximum of three supporting documents.

Our judges are experts in their fields, but they have many entries to look through. Follow these tips to ensure you’re a cut above the rest:

• Get familiar with the criteria. Your supporting statement should clearly demonstrate how your work meets each of the criteria points. Don’t go over 500 words and make sure your entry is clear and concise. Try to make your entry memorable by being passionate and really selling your story.

• Context, context, context. Include specific commercial/growth figures which clearly show results in relation to business goals. Don’t worry if you’re an independent publisher, our judges won’t be comparing your figures to the big players, just to your objectives. Anything you share will remain confidential.

• Display exceptional knowledge of the target audience(s). Your strategy, goals, content/products, and results should show you can deliver what your audience wants – even if they don’t know that’s what they want!

• The future of special interest media is sustainable and inclusive regardless of race, gender, class, or disability. Showcase a commitment to D&I and sustainability throughout your entry where relevant. Whether that’s an inclusive workplace, or a product or campaign which serves underrepresented communities or establishes your business commitment to a sustainable future.

• Make it easy for the judges. It’s crucial you provide easily accessible and concise supporting documents. You can only upload 3 documents (up to 40MB each) so make the right choice. If you’re providing links to information behind a pay wall, please make sure to include login details for our judges. Testimonials, videos, and infographics are a nice touch where appropriate.
