Saluting the 1990 Gold Quill winners - International Association of Business Communicators: 1970 - 1990: Section 2: Coming of Age
Communication World, May-June, 1990
Bravo to those who walked away with the gold in this year's IABC Gold Quill Awards program! Nearly 3,000 entries from all over the world represented the best the profession has to offer.
One hundred sixteen winners will receive a coveted Gold Quill trophy. Thirty-one win receive Awards of Excellence; 85 Awards of Merit. Selecting these 116 was no task for the uninspired or inattentive. Gold Quill judges put in long hours of contemplation and care in deciding who's the best.
Entries were evaluated by two levels of judges. The first tier was made up of 18 teams located around the world. These judges selected three to five entries in each of the categories for final consideration. Final entries then were evaluated in a two-day session by a Blue Ribbon panel chosen from IABC Fellows, past IABC chairpersons, Accredited Business Communicators, multiple Gold Quill winners, IABC Research Foundation board members and other leaders in the profession. The Blue Ribbon group conducted its evaluation on the final entries without seeing the first tier judges' scores.
If you entered, but didn't win an award, you're still a winner. You took the time and made the effort to showcase your talent and ability. This sets you apart from the crowd; through your efforts, you help set the standards of excellence to which all communicators strive. So, get ready to stroll away with the gold next year ! All Gold Quill Award-winning entries will be on display at IABC 90/Making Vision a Reality, international conference in Vancouver, B.C., May 20,23. And, each entry is included in "No Secrets," the publication where Gold Quill winners and judges tell all. "No Secrets" and its 1989 predecessor can be ordered at conference or from IABC headquarters in San Francisco.
