Golden Target Awards Collection

What is the PRIA Golden Target Awards collection?
The Public Relations Institute of Australia's Golden Target Awards are the premier national annual awards recognising excellence in the public relations industry. The Golden Target Awards showcase the communication profession's most outstanding campaigns and projects undertaken over the previous year by consultancies, corporate organisations and businesses, government bodies and community organisations.

Where is the PRIA Golden Target Awards collection?
The UTS Library houses the GTA collection, which includes winners and entries for the past five years. It is located in the Audio-Visual section on Level 2 of the City Campus Library (campus addresses and maps are available on the University's website). The awards are arranged by year and category of the award.

Finding Golden Targets Awards entries in the Library Catalogue
Individual Golden Target Awards entries are listed in Library Catalogue. To find lists of entries for a particular year, do a Title search using the phrase Golden Target Awards and select the year required. Then click on individual titles to obtain their shelf numbers.

PRIA Golden Target Awards Database
It is also possible to link to the full-text of the campaign component of some entries in the Golden Target Awards Database. For example, if you wanted to view The Tampa Crisis entry, do a Title search in the Library Catalogue and click on 'Connect to Electronic Version' for the text. The Golden Target Awards Database can also be searched by various award categories and dates.
