\nWhat\u2019s the best feedback you could hope for about a website that you or your organisation has created? What\u2019s the greatest outcome you could imagine from a document your organisation has published? And what\u2019s the most satisfying result you could wish for for the writers in your organisation?<\/p>\n

How about, \u2018This site was our clear and unanimous winner! We hope plain-writing professionals and trainers will use it as a good example of plain writing principles\u2019? Or what about, \u2018What\u2019s not to like?’ And even, \u2018It\u2019s hard to see how the writers could have helped the readers more\u2019?<\/p>\n

The responses we\u2019ve listed above are all true-blue pieces of feedback from judges at last year\u2019s Plain English Awards. What kind of feedback do you think you\u2019d get?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Going the extra mile for readers<\/h2>\n

Every year the Plain English Awards honours those individuals and organisations who have gone the extra mile to get the best outcomes for their readers. The Awards are a public pat on the back for plain English champions. They help to raise the bar for clear communication.<\/p>\n

To decide on our champions, independent panels of plain English experts and advocates judge entries and decide on who\u2019s best in each category. This year the Awards has\u00a013 different categories<\/a>\u00a0to enter (or to be entered in).<\/p>\n

Are you ready to be in the running?<\/h2>\n

Entries for the 2018 Plain English Awards are open. You have 3 months to get your entries in before they close on Friday, 31 August.<\/p>\n
