Ignite Your Career! 2017 Bronze Quill Awards Deadline Extended to May 30

Ignite your career! The 36th Annual IABC Chicago Bronze Quill Awards competition opens today! As “the Oscars” of Chicago communications, the IABC Chicago Bronze Quill Award represents the pinnacle of communications excellence.

Why Enter? Winning an award can help you justify a raise or increase in your budget. It improves your personal confidence and establishes your credibility. The award, most important, exemplifies your excellence in communication practice.

Winners Receive: Peer and personal acclaim, recognition at the annual Bronze Quill Awards Reception in September, a personalized award, use of the Bronze Quill logo and mention on the IABC Chicago website and in a national press release!

As ‘the Oscar’ for Chicago-area communications professionals, this contest recognizes the best and brightest work from all communications disciplines – from marketing and public relations to writers and digital media experts.

Previous winners represent companies large and small, including Allstate, Boeing, ComEd, McDonald’s, Sprint, Samsung, Towers Watson, Walgreen’s and Zurich.

Award-winning entries demonstrate strategic thought process with clearly defined goals and objectives, measurable results against objectives and value added contribution to the client or organization. Winners receive a personalized trophy, recognition on IABC Chicago’s web site and mention in a press release.

Entrants do not need to be members of IABC. The late submission deadline has been extended to Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at midnight, Central Time.

Good luck!
