Great ways to stand out from the crowd

Hi <<First Name>>,

Are you one of those communication professionals who stands out from the crowd? Would you like to be? Right now, IABC has two great ways to let the industry know about your awesome work:

The IABC APAC Communicator of the Year awards
The Gold Quill Awards.

If you're thinking of entering either (or both), here is some information to help you get started. Oh, and keep an eye out at the bottom of this email for the latest list of upcoming events.

Communicator of the Year Awards now open.

"Winning the inaugural Communicator of the Year Award for the Asia Pacific region in 2020 was a great honour. To be acknowledged by such a respected organisation in IABC made the recognition even more rewarding."

Gabrielle Dolan

We're excited to say that the second IABC APAC Communicator of the Year Award program is now open. We'll be accepting entries until 6pm AEDT, Monday 1 March 2021.

The IABC APAC Communicator of the Year Award is an unique opportunity to acknowledge exceptional communication excellence and leadership. There are two categories:

Senior communication professionals with more than 10 years in the profession. Last year's winner was Gabrielle Dolan, the global expert in business storytelling and real communication (and now an IABC APAC Board member).
Executive leaders who demonstrate outstanding communication. Last year's winner was Kate Carnell, Australia’s Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman.

For more information and the call for nominations, check out the IABC APAC web site.
