The application deadline for the PR Image Award is June 16.

The dpa subsidiary News Aktuell is honoring outstanding PR photography from Switzerland, Germany and Austria for the 15th time. Companies, organizations and agencies can apply until June 16 at Pr-picture-award.ch. Any number of photos in any number of categories can be submitted. The only requirement is that the photos must have been used for media relations and PR in the last twelve months. Participation is free of charge.

The winners are determined in a two-stage selection process: After the application deadline, a jury of media and communications experts will evaluate which images make it onto the shortlist. Afterwards, the professional public votes on the favorites. In November, News Aktuell announces the winning images from the individual categories as well as the PR Image of the Year for Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
