The wait is over for digital agencies, digital communications teams and internal communicators. The 2013 Digital Impact Awards are now open for entry.

The Awards, now in its fourth year, celebrate the best in digital stakeholder engagement. Categories range from social media to internal communications to annual reports and encourage entries from agencies, companies and staff alike. 

Publishing editor of Communicate magazine, Andrew Thomas says, “Over the past year, there has hardly been a day go by when we have not had enquiries from both agencies keen to enter the next awards event or from companies keen to include shortlisted companies in their pitchlists. We are delighted that the awards programme has gained the credibility and momentum to help companies differentiate themselves and their work.”

At last year’s award, The Group was named digital agency of the year for their excellent work across the industry and the grand prix award went to Reckitt Benckiser and The Workroom for their groundbreaking internal communications campaign.

This year’s Awards also feature a new category –  best corporate app – to respond to the rise in corporate apps in internal communications and stakeholder engagement.

Digital communications have come far since 2009. The mobile boom of the past two years has drastically altered the way digital comms is approached. This year, content is on the tip of everyone’s tongue. The Digital Impact Awards have evolved with the times and have recognised the best in European digital communications work since their inception and the 2013 Awards programme is slated to be the best yet.

The early bird entry deadline is 20 June and all entries must be received before midnight on 4 July. Entries are judged by a panel of digital communications practitioners and industry experts.
