ePolitix.com has been shortlisted in the 'website of the year' category at this year's Chartered Institute of Public Relations Excellence Awards.

The awards recognise and reward best practice in public relations throughout the UK and acknowledge personal and team achievement at the highest professional level.

Paul Adeleke, ePolitix.com's head of communications, said: "We are delighted to have been included on the shortlist for the CIPR awards, which comes on the back of the recent shortlisting for the PPA awards.

"It really caps an excellent year for us in terms of acknowledgement of our services, but we certainly don't intend to pause.

"We will continue to focus on working ever closer with our Stakeholders and to strive for editorial excellence."

CIPR director general Colin Farrington said: “These awards showcase the good PR work being carried out and the contribution it makes to business and society.

"At the same time they raise standards by identifying, rewarding and spreading the word about best practice. Reaching the final short list in any category is a real achievement, and ePolitix.com is to be congratulated."

The winners will be announced at a ceremony on July 3.
