Awards are more important
now than ever before
Are you entering awards this year as a business and business owner? You should!
Awards remain relevant because they provide independent validation in industries where trust is earned before contact is made. They signal credibility to prospective clients and media, particularly when brands are competing for attention in crowded markets. That recognition often shapes perception long before any conversation begins.
From a PR standpoint, awards create genuine opportunities for visibility. Shortlisting and wins offer credible reasons for coverage while reinforcing authority with journalists or potential clients who rely on external markers of quality. Over time, this recognition contributes to a stronger public profile that supports wider communications activity.
Awards also play a role in discoverability. Mentions across established award platforms contribute to brand authority signals that increasingly influence visibility in generative and contextual search environments (LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Co-Pilot, etc.). Entered consistently, awards support long-term presence rather than fleeting exposure. This means you and your business show up in answers within these LLM platforms.
Entering awards properly
Strong awards entries are built on clarity and relevance. Judges respond to submissions that demonstrate informed decision-making and remain aligned with the criteria. Overstatement and vague language tend to weaken otherwise strong entries.
Consistency improves outcomes. Brands that treat awards as an ongoing activity develop a clearer understanding of expectations, which leads to stronger submissions over time.
Having Goho enter awards on your behalf!
As part of our PR service, Goho enters awards on behalf of brands across marketing, event and PR disciplines, managing the process from selection through to submission. The approach is collaborative and efficient, designed to minimise internal effort while ensuring entries are positioned clearly.
We have a 100% success rate for shortlisting across awards entered for clients. This is achieved through disciplined interpretation of the criteria and writing focused on judges rather than internal stakeholders, mixed with brilliant PR professionals and experience.
The awards listed on this page represent upcoming opportunities across the year, reflecting typical entry cycles within marketing, PR, events and advertising. While every effort is made to keep information accurate, some deadlines and dates are based on previous years and may shift as organisers confirm details for the current cycle. It is always advisable to check official award websites for the most up-to-date information as the year progresses, and we’ll update accordingly!
