Recognition Monday: The International Summit Awards

We're getting close to the Summit, so we're doing a double dose of Recognition Monday today! Below are this years honorees for the International Summit Awards. Attending the Summit and want to help celebrate them in person? Sign up for the Honors Banquet when you register, or email Cheryl Miller if you’ve already registered for the Summit and want to add the Honors Banquet.

Each year, STC sponsors international competitions through which technical communicators have the opportunity to receive recognition for their work. STC chapters hold preliminary competitions from which Excellence and Distinguished Award winners advance to the international level. Each entry is judged against criteria that measure the degree of technical content, achievement of purpose, and technical execution whether online or in printed deliverable.

Below are the Best in Show and Distinguished honorees from this year's International Summit Awards. Congratulations to all winners and thank you to the judges and committee!
