COMPETITION DETAILS
Nothing distinguishes your work and brings recognition to you and your team more than honors from the 2012 Inspire Awards.
The Inspire Awards recognizes the outstanding internal & employee communications programs of the past twelve months. From Abbott to Zurich Financial, organizations large and small compete against peers of similar size, staff, and means to earn recognition for their organization's achievements.
Here's your chance to earn due recognition for your hard work in communications. As the world's premiere internal & employee communications competition, the Inspire Awards provides a platform for communications professionals to demonstrate the value they're delivering to their organization.
JUDGING PROCESS
Judged across a broad range of criteria, awards are presented across five tiers: platinum, gold, silver, bronze, and honors. Ratings are based upon an evaluation point system, which considers a number of factors measuring the effectiveness of communications materials.
In order to maintain equity during the evaluation process, materials are also classified and considered according to organization size and revenue. Further, individual honors are also being awarded to entrants participating in category-specific competitions.
WHO SHOULD ENTER
