Winning communication awards can be a great way to build your reputation with your employer or clients. But does the award have real meaning if the communications professional society conducting the awards is sloppy in its own communications about that award?
The Association for Women in Communications emailed their Call for Entries today and although they refer to the awards as prestigious, apparently they aren't so prestigious that someone would take time (or use Spell Check) to proofread the announcement.
Want more information about eligibility, deadlines or the application process? They suggest that you "contat" AWC's communications manager. And later they include the line The Clarion "Awads" are sponsored by the Association for Women in Communications (AWC). This is very disappointing from what is supposed to be a premier organization promoting and celebrating the highest level of skill and accomplishment among professionals.
But, if you're interested in entering your work in one of the more than 100 categories, visit their web site at http://www.womcom.org/awards/2009/Clarion.asp because the early-bird deadline is February 27 and the final deadline is March 31.
