Competition #1
It is well known that the profile of “PR” is lower than “AI”. To bridge classical PR methods and modern AI challenges, to raise the awareness of the general public about the important role of “PR”, and to boost the image and visibility of “PR”, the 5th ICPRAI is introducing “Competitions” in our Program with three prizes of CAD$500 each.
Participants are invited to submit a 3-page discussion paper on one or more of the following topics to our new TRACK “Competition”:
- Why a lot more people know “AI” than “PR”?
- The important role “PR” plays in “AI” applications
- Do “AI” and “PR” really need guardrails? And what about remedies when something goes wrong?
All participants are encouraged to submit discussion papers with illustrations to the Competition ‘TRACK’ before February 15, 2026. Authors of the “Best Discussion Papers” will receive cash prizes and their papers will be displayed at a distinct Notice Board at the conference.
Competition #2
In addition to the existing 3 topics for competitions, we are introducing this new topic “AI & Student Homework”:
- Should students use AI for homework and assignments? How is AI re-shaping education, particularly higher education?
This competition question also comes with a cash prize of $500. Deadline is February 15, 2026.
Submission
When submitting to either Competition, upload your paper to EasyChair and select the Competition track.
Sincerely,
ICPRAI 2026 Best Paper Award Committee
