Great communications stand the test of time, and our area has certainly had its share of memorable messages. From “We hold these truths to be self evident…” to “I have a dream.” From “o'er the ramparts we watched…” to Annapolis Naval Academy graduate Jim Lovell's “Houston, we have a problem” these memorable phrases have moved minds, inspired action, challenged the status quo and changed the course of history.
The Silver Inkwell Award reflects this proud heritage. As the Premier awards program for business communicators and federal government communicators, winning the Silver Inkwell is an acknowledgement from your peers that your messages are truly effective and memorable.
Reflecting on the unique nature of our work and the Greater Washington-Baltimore area, we also wish to recognize the exemplary work of those communicators who work on classified projects. To meet that end, we are reviewing the prospect of creating a panel of security cleared judges.
For those who wish to apply with sensitive material, please contact Susan Spoto for further instruction.
Technology has modified the delivery of communications; “green” and ethical best practices have impacted the way companies reflect their brand and strategy. In response, the Silver Inkwell Award has expanded the areas of entry with the addition of new sub-categories in the Interactive and Electronic Media section as well as creating a brand new category for Social Responsibility.
An entry to the Silver Inkwell may also be used as one of your portfolio entries toward your ABC Accreditation. Don't miss out on this sterling opportunity; enter today and showcase your best work while enhancing your career.
Early-Bird Deadline: June 13
Final Deadline: June 27
All entries mailed or shipped must be postmarked by the deadline date. Entries sent via courier must be received in the IABC office by 5:00 pm on the deadline date.
...at the 2008 Silver Inkwell Awards Gala, October 23. More details to come!
