“We are proud to recognize a very select group of our colleagues who have made their mark by setting and meeting communications objectives that delivered significant, measurable results to their organizations,” said Ann Krzmarzick, ABC, IABC Silver Quill Awards chair. “They have shown that they use strategic thinking, creativity and ingenuity to get the job done.”
An IABC Kansas City expert panel of experienced judges, comprising Accredited Business Communicators (ABCs) and/or those who have earned IABC Quill awards, completed the evaluations for the 2012 Silver Quill Awards. The judging process sets a very high standard for entrants by using guidelines from the IABC Gold Quill Awards, the international recognition program for communicators.
All entrants receive valuable peer-to-peer feedback from the judges to enhance their future work. Winners also receive an engraved crystal award, public kudos and recognition of their work in a winners’ booklet. A complete winners’ list and examples of the award-winning work is available here.
