The awards committee alongside the Public Relations Institute of Southern Africa (PRISA) have taken the decision to cancel the 2020 Prism Awards event, amid concerns of the increasing impact of the Coronavirus in the country.
Palesa Madumo, Prism Awards convenor said, ‘We have been monitoring the developments around the virus closely over the last few weeks and we were aware that a cancellation of the awards was a possibility. We acknowledge that the PR and communication industry at large will be disappointed, however, this decision has been taken with their health and safety in mind.’
The Prism committee will be in contact with all individuals, agencies and organisations that have entered the 2020 awards and additional information will be shared with them in due course.
Refunds will be given to all those who have purchased tickets, please contact Louise Struwig on louise@prisa.co.za should you have any questions relating to the refund.
‘We are considering a number of options to still ensure that entrants and the ultimate winners of the awards are acknowledged and celebrated. We will make this information available once finalised,’ concluded Madumo.
