Participation In The Gold, Silver And Bronze Quill Awards
Each year, IABC hosts our profession’s most prestigious event for recognition and excellence in strategic communication. The Gold Quill Awards have been running for 40 years and is the only global event that recognises and awards communication professionals in diverse work areas such as branding, research, employee engagement and social media. Gold Quill winners are automatically recognised with a Silver Quill at the regional level and may be awarded a Bronze Quill at the local level if they progressed to the blue ribbon judging stage with their Gold entry. IABC members pay far less than non-members to enter the Gold Quill Awards.
