Event's big question: are award wins the best way to gain recognition in the industry?

With a record number of companies entering the Event Awards this year, we want to find out whether winning industry accolades is the most important way to gain recognition in the industry. Perhaps you think PR stunts, adverts or pitch wins carry more weight?

Whatever your thoughts, we want to hear from you.

You can air your views by voting in our Facebook poll or leaving your comments below this story.

The results of the poll and the best comments will be published in the September issue of Event magazine, and you can get hold of a copy by subscribing here.
