2017 Bronze Quill and Karen Utterback Volunteer Award Winners

IABC Chicago proudly announces the winners of the 2017 Bronze Quill Awards. Communicators from 14 Chicago area organizations were recognized for their accomplishments in 12 categories of corporate communications at a celebration on Sept. 14.

As “the Oscars” of Chicago communications, the IABC Chicago Bronze Quill Awards represent the pinnacle of communications excellence. The Awards recognize the best and brightest work from all communication disciplines — from marketing and public relations to writing and digital media expertise. 2017 marks the 36th annual IABC Chicago Bronze Quill Award competition.

The annual Bronze Quill Awards competition is open to all Chicago-area business communicators who completed a significant project during the previous calendar year that demonstrated excellence

Congratulations to the 2017 winners!
