Westbourne is holding its annual Change Opinion Awards on 15th May.
The ability to change opinion is critically central to your cause. These awards will show how campaigns have achieved this, and celebrate the best examples.
In 2014 there will be four award categories:
Innovation Award
A campaign that has changed opinion by employing an approach that has not been seen before.
Media Award
A campaign that has made the most of media impact.
Politics Award
A campaign that has changed policy or had an effect on the political narrative.
Stakeholder Engagement Award
A campaign that has actively engaged with its stakeholders, then changed their strategy to positively affect visibility or commerciality.
A Campaign of the Year Award will also be awarded.
Hosted by Adam Boulton (Political Editor, Sky News), the awards will celebrate the outstanding campaigns of the past year; providing a great opportunity to see what they achieved and how. We are taking a moment to recognise those who have moved the needle of opinion. Those who have faced down hostile perceptions. Who have carried the day against the odds. Who embody the spirit of change opinion.
Over the past three months the campaigns of the Westbourne 100 been carefully selected to form the long list. At the event, the winners of five awards, chosen by our independent judging panel, will be announced.
All winners will be selected from the Westbourne100 by our panel of independent judges.
