The International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) has announced the Excellence and Merit winners of the 2016 Gold Quill Awards program (#IABCGQ).

Hong Kong: 1
India: 2

“The Gold Quill Awards are unique in the industry because they recognize work that makes a significant contribution to business or organizational outcomes,” said Monika Lancucki, ABC, Chair of the IABC Awards Committee. “Also, unlike many other awards programs, evaluators review each entry against IABC’s standard of excellence rather than against other entries. This encourages the pursuit of excellence rather than competition.
 
“Gold Quill winners are communication practitioners who are living testament to IABC’s mission, that communication can be a force for good in business and society. They deliver strategic impact for their organizations and clients, taking communication to the next level.” 
 
Winners from the region submitted entries in the following categories:
 

• Internal Communication
• Human Resources and Benefits Communication
• Change Communication
• Leadership Communication
• Marketing, Advertising and Brand Communication
• Media Relations
• Issues Management and Crisis Communication
• Nonprofit Campaigns
• Special Events
• Digital Communication
• Audio Visual

The diversity of awards and overall high standards of work from entrants is a reflection of the professionalism of communicators across Asia Pacific.
 
The Gold Quill Awards will be presented at an Excellence Gala, to be held on Monday 6 June, as part of the IABC’s World Conference in New Orleans.
