Competition update – still looking for judges

We’re still in the market for competition judges. If you’re a past award winner, past judge, or experienced (say, 5+ years) technical communicator and are interested in gaining more experience at:

  • evaluating and providing feedback on materials that are new and unfamiliar to you

  • discussing your evaluations with fellow technical communicators


then please get in touch with me (competition2008 at stctoronto.org).

Thanks in advance for your interest.

Competition update

OK, a couple of things to tell you...

First -- and I've been a bit slow to announce this -- we once again are partnering with the Southwestern Ontario chapter. We've been working together on getting judges and entries.

And speaking of entries, you should have noticed that the entry deadline has now passed. If you've already contacted me about entering, then we can continue the conversation and get your entry in (but soon, please). Otherwise, there's always next year.

And for those of you who are entering this year, I'm sorting out your entries and getting them matched up with judging teams.

More later...

Competition deadline is fast approaching!

So, we're getting close to the deadline for entries in this year's competition -- but there's still time to get an entry in.

If you've got a piece of work that you'd like to get some outside feedback on and you think it may have a shot at winning an award, go over to the STC Toronto site, click "Competition", and find out how to enter.
