Phil Spencer Hosting First-Ever Gala Dinner Ceremony for the Awards at Hilton London Bankside

 

The finalists for the Property Press Awards 2022 have been announced, following an epic contest for honours across 19 media categories and 5 PR categories.

 

For the first time in the Awards' 12-year history, the winners will be announced at a black-tie gala dinner, taking place at London Hilton Bankside on Monday 14 November 2022.  Property celebrity Phil Spencer returns to anchor the show for the third year running.

 

Some of the most fiercely contested media categories include National Newspaper Supplement of the Year, Freelance Journalist of the Year, and Consumer Staff Writer of the Year.

 

Highlights in the inaugural year for PR awards include In-House PR Team of the Year, PR Agency of the Year, Campaign of the Year and PR Professional of the Year.

 

The Awards (PropertyPressAwards.com, @Property4Media, #PropertyPressAwards) are organised by Property4Media, the social network connecting the property sector with property journalists and influencers.

 

The judges presiding over this year's adjudications are also revealed today on the Property Press Awards website (https://www.propertypressawards.com/2022-judges.html). Their ranks number over 20 senior property executives, media editors, industry experts and personalities, including Mark Collins, Chairman of CBRE; Melanie Leech CBE, British Property Federation's CEO; Nick Leeming, Chairman of Jackson-Stops, and property PR guru Tricia Topping.

 

Sponsorship opportunities for the Awards' first-ever gala dinner event still remain available, including sponsorship of individual Awards categories, welcome drinks reception sponsor and after party sponsor (https://www.propertypressawards.com/sponsorship-opportunities.html).

 

Awards category sponsors will sit with invited finalists in their category at their 10-seat table, representing an unrivalled media networking opportunity for sponsors. Details of these opportunities and a host of bespoke sponsorships can be found on the Awards' website (https://propertypressawards.com/sponsorship-opportunities.html).

 

Property4Media CEO Henry Hemming said: “The response to this year's Awards has been impressive, with a deluge of media entries and a fantastic response to the inaugural PR awards. The decision to take the Awards to gala dinner status has attracted strong support.
