2023-2024 Gold Quill Awards Now Open

For more than 40 years, IABC’s Gold Quill Awards have recognised and awarded excellence in strategic communication worldwide. Gold Quill is the only awards program that honours the dedication, innovation and passion of communicators on a global scale.

All IABC Gold Quill Award entries are evaluated by international professional communicators with more than 10 years of experience. The majority of evaluators have earned Gold Quill Awards. Many are either IABC accredited or certified by the Global Communication Certification Council. And, all are trained to evaluate entries against established criteria aligned to IABC’s Global Standard of the communication profession.

There are two types of Gold Quill Awards:

• Awards of Merit, for entries that score 5.25 to 5.74 out of 7

• Awards of Excellence, for entries that score above 5.75

Enter a submission by 21 January 2024 via the Gold Quill website.
