EACH CATEGORY WINNER WILL RECIEVE:

AN ELEGANT TROPHY:
Display this shiny trophy for all to see. Go ahead, you’ve earned it.
EDITORIAL & SOCIAL MEDIA COVERAGE:
You’ll be featured on Ragan’s web sites Ragan.com and PRDaily.com, on our social
platforms and in our eletters, reaching more than 250,000 communicators and
marketers.

PRESS RELEASE:
We’ll provide you with a quote for your press release plus we’ll post your

It is imperative that organizations foster a work environment that is welcoming
for everyone, where all employees’ voices and ideas are heard and diverse
backgrounds are celebrated and embraced.

In addition to cultivating an open and accepting workplace environment,
organizations’ corporate social responsibility and environmental social and
governance efforts must also champion causes and organizations that positively
impact our physical environment.

Ragan’s CSR & Diversity Awards will honor the organizations, people and teams
whose CSR, ESG or DE&I efforts have played an important role in making the world
safer, healthier, more equitable and sustainable.

The program recognizes corporate social responsibility, environmental, social
and governance, and diversity, equity and inclusion work that is positively
impacting their communities, whether internally, locally or globally. Ragan’s
CSR & Diversity Awards features categories that showcase CSR, DE&I and ESG
campaigns, initiatives and programs.

Ragan will recognize all finalists—and announce category winners—at a special
live event in July at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. To see what
winning work looks like, check out last year’s winners.

Show us how CSR, ESG & DE&I are woven into the fabric of your mission and
values. Enter Ragan’s CSR & Diversity Awards by February 17, 2023 to earn
recognition for the important work you, your team and your organization are
doing!

independent communication practitioners and vendors in the private, corporate,
nonprofit and government sectors.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A WINNER?

We look for top-quality work that shows clear, bold and creative ideas that
benefit your business or client. Please provide metrics or results that back up
your claims, and share creative collateral such as videos, visual design or
websites that were a part of your project. Please look at our past award winners
to see what gets recognized and rewarded. We encourage you to submit the same
campaign to multiple categories, if you feel they are relevant. Doing so
increases your chances of winning. You'll also save on multiple submissions of
the same campaign or project.

WHY ARE SOME DEADLINES EXTENDED?

We extend deadlines based on applicant needs and upcoming promotional
opportunities.

WHEN WILL I FIND OUT RESULTS?

Ragan will recognize all finalists—and announce category winners—at a special
live event in July in Chicago.
