Below, we have some guidelines on how to put together a press release to send out to your local and national media.

The below information is just a guide so feel free toadapt it to suit you – addingany details of your company and your winning property that you feel is relevant.

Remember, keep it SIMPLE and include all the information a journalist will need to turn your press release into a news story – including WHEN the event took place and WHERE it happened. Always include a telephone number and email address so they can contact you easily if they have any more questions about your news.

Be sure to make the category and level of your award clear too.
