Back and better than ever, the IABC/BC Bronze Quill Awards recognize communications excellence in the province of British Columbia! From helping to create great workplaces to managing crisis and communicating change, professional communicators have helped shape this province in many ways and it’s time to show off your great work.

Whether your strength lies in internal or external communications, social media or graphic design, there’s a category for you to enter the BC Chapter’s premier awards contest. And with similar categories to the international Gold Quill and national Silver Leaf award programs, you can use the Bronze Quill Awards as a stepping-stone for further recognition or preparation for your ABC Accreditation.

Winners are recognized at the Bronze Quill Awards Gala in front of peers and colleagues as we celebrate excellence in our field. Submission dates for the 2012 Bronze Quill Awards will be announced in the coming months.

IABC Canada Silver Leaf Awards

All that glitters is not always gold – sometimes it’s silver

Think silver. Silver bullet. Silver arrow. Silver sword. Silver screen. Silver Leaf!  Harder than gold, glittering brilliant white, and a tribute to the passion for excellence of Canadian communicators. Take a look at this silver lining:
