Welcome to the Communiqué Awards 2021

It’s time to start thinking about your entries!

There are big changes happening for this year’s Communiqué Awards!

Firstly, we have a new online entry portal, accessible via this link: https://communique.awardsplatform.com/.

The new entry system will streamline entering, making the whole process much simpler for you – the entrants. It will enable:

• Complete control of your entries
• Changes to be made up to the deadline date (no more having to re-submit via email)
• Clear instructions on what you need to include in your entry/entries
• Easy upload of supporting materials
• Auto-confirmation that your entries have been received
• Immediate and secure payment system.

The judging criteria and entry format for all the Healthcare Communications Awards have been completely changed and more clearly reflect the criteria that the judges will be looking for.

There are three exciting new categories:

• Excellence in Medical Affairs – Operations
• Agility and Flexibility Award
• Leadership Award for Action on Workforce Diversity and Inclusion

These new categories are in line with the more flexible and diverse nature of the environment in the pharmaceutical/biotech industry and reflect a greater focus on medical affairs.

Given the success of last year’s judging via Zoom, it is likely that in 2021 the majority of the judging will take place via Zoom, with face-to-face face interviews (Government restrictions allowing) for the Individual, Team and Company Awards categories.

The Communiqué Awards proved in 2020 that we can act nimbly to deal with any challenges and this year will be no different. The changes to existing categories and the introduction of new categories reflect an agile and thorough approach to the ongoing development of the Communiqué Awards, with every category having undergone thorough review to ensure they continue to reflect best practice in our industry and the excellent support and positive impact your work has on outcomes for patients, the public and healthcare providers.

We can’t wait to see you all again this year as a judge, entrant, participant or winner.

Winning Communiqué Communications Consultancy of the Year has been a real honour and given our team an immense sense of pride in their work. It drives us to be better and do more of what we’re passionate about. What was really special for us in 2020 was the judges’ recognition of the strength and value of our culture. It’s this culture, rooted in our passion to make people healthier and happier as we bring our work to more people around the world.

Our success at last year’s Communiqué Awards was the culmination of some fantastic collaborations with our clients and partners. As a relatively new agency, to have our work recognised in this way is incredibly important and it also gives us something to feel proud of together. That’s hugely motivating for everyone involved and has kept us energized in a year of many challenges.
