New York, NY – The Institute for Public Relations (IPR) and Page Society have partnered to revamp the Page Case Study Competition, now called the IPR and Page Case Study Competition. While the core of the competition remains the same, improvements have been made based on feedback from judges and faculty advisors to enhance the case study experience to better align with the core missions of both organizations.

Some of the updates include:

  • Unlimited Submissions: The removal of the case study institution submission limit allows greater student participation. However, non-award-winning case studies will be eliminated faster.
  • Clearer Guidelines and a New Scoring Rubric: A detailed, standardized scoring rubric provides clear expectations and transparency in the judging process.
  • Increased Emphasis on Critical Thinking: A stronger focus on critical thinking encourages students to apply their case study to both the IPR and Page missions.
  • Online Submission System: A new online platform will streamline the submission process, making it easier for students and faculty to upload and manage entries.
  • Presentations to Executives: The top teams will present their case studies to senior communication executives, providing valuable feedback and networking opportunities.
  • Revamped Website: The competition’s official website has been fully updated with a user-friendly interface and improved resources for participants.

Additional resources will be added to the website in the coming months. IPR and Page will also host a virtual forum where students and faculty can ask questions about the case study competition. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 31, 2025.
