If the team does not travel, they will win a cash prize of Rs 25,000/- to be shared equally.)

The Young Pride Challenge has been set up to encourage campaign planning and bring to the fore young professionals who are the leaders of tomorrow. A team of two public relations consultancy professionals will respond to a brief which will be evaluated by a jury.

The winners of YPC will write one exclusive article each sharing their experience from the virtual event by November 11th. This will be published on the Reputation Today portal on November 13th and 20th respectively.

Why under 35?

There is a list for 30 under 30 and a list for 40 under 40. Somewhere, those in between get missed out in gaining recognition. 35 is the age when most professionals are completing a decade of work experience and stepping into leadership roles.

The crux of Public Relations is case studies and campaigns which is not an aspect several professionals are familiar with. We want to bring the culture of solving a case back in vogue.

Hence the Young Pride Challenge. These are aimed at those in the vicinity of the ten-years’ experience mark. The prizes are also those that worthy communicators above this age bracket can afford with some planning and investment. We believe exposing three young professionals to international conferences is a great honour for them as well as for those aspiring to enter the profession and make a mark.
