The Association for Women in Communications (AWC) celebrates 40 years of awarding communications excellence with the call for entries for the 2012 Clarion Awards. Award opportunities lie in more than 100 categories covering many aspects of advertising, education, fundraising, graphic design, internal communications, magazines, marketing, feature writing, online journalism, public relations, radio, television and special events. Peer judges review the work based on budget size, so all entries are considered fairly.
The Clarion competition is open to everyone. Women and men, individuals and organizations, AWC members and nonmembers, students, and international professionals are all invited to submit their work. Past winners include companies, non-profits, small businesses, consultancies and media companies of all sizes.
“Entering the Clarion Awards is a great way to gain recognition as one of today’s top communications professionals. To commemorate its 40th anniversary we have moved the awards registration online, making the entrant process even easier.” says Judy Arent Morency, AWC Chair.
To qualify, more than half of an entry must have been published, broadcast, or implemented between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2011. Early-bird savings are available until March 31, 2012. All entries must be submitted by the final deadline of April 30, 2012.
