The PRWeek People Stars list is the ultimate platform to celebrate the brightest and most innovative minds in the public relations and public affairs industry. It's an incredible opportunity to honour the exceptional talent that’s truly shaping our field, whether you're agency-side or in-house.

For 2026, our expert judging panel will select individuals for each of the three People Categories to be named a PRWeek People Star. You'll be showcased in a dedicated profile on PRWeek.co.uk - following in the footsteps of the celebrated '30 Under 30' list - and highlighted on one of the industry's biggest stages.

On awards night, the spotlight intensifies. One exceptional Gold winner will be revealed in each of the twelve sub-categories, cementing their status as the very best of the best.
