This year's BCOMSS will be the third iteration of the event, SOEs Minister Special Staff III Arya Sinulingga said here on Thursday.
The ministry has continued to improve the evaluation standard from year to year, including by involving external judges who are experts in the field to ensure independent and credible evaluation, he added.
According to Sinulingga, 493 submissions have been received from 60 SOEs competing for 24 nominations—12 in the corporate communications section and 12 in the sustainability program section.
BCOMSS is a form of appreciation from the ministry for SOEs' communication and corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance.

They also comprise CSR of the year, SOEs local heroes, best millennials CSR, best SOE CSR, SOEs disaster task force, SOEs house facilitator of the year, and SOEs house of the year.
The external judges for the communication categories will be academician and artist Maudy Ayunda and communication practitioner Reisa Broto Asmoro.
