Congratulations to the 2011 Bronze Quill Award Winners! Photos now Available

Over 70 Chicago-area communicators and their supporters joined IABC/Chicago at the famous Joes Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab June 9th (photos from event) to celebrate the 2011 Bronze Quill Award winners. The event, the last major event of the 2010-11 season, presented winners with their trophies, celebrated IABC/Chicago accomplishments and provided the audience a peek into what we have in store for next year.

The competition was open to all Chicago-area business communicators who completed a significant project in 2010 embodying excellence in one of 27 categories across three divisions: communication management, communication skills and creative. Winning entries feature clear objectives supporting the organization’s goals, creative communication strategies and effective, measurable results.

“A Bronze Quill Award provides proof that an outstanding communication program or project helped influence a company’s goals, as well as its bottom line,” said Justin Brunner, Director of Awards for IABC/Chicago. “The winning entries were rigorously judged by seasoned IABC professionals from other chapters, based on stringent standards set by the leading global business communications professional organization. Bronze Quill winners can now say they are truly the best in class.”
