\nOn Thursday, 28 November, lawyer and comedian James Elliott will announce this year\u2019s winners on the Newsroom website. No more biting your nails in anticipation!<\/p>\n
Initial feedback from our judges in the Brainstrain category hints at a lot of work needed to bring some of the nominations up to par. Judges have even expressed concern that \u2018documents of this standard are still being written\u2019.<\/p>\n
From what we know so far, our Brainstrain judges have been frustrated by excessive jargon and technical terms, poor flow, and vague and confusing words, among other gripes. One judge hinted that \u2018documents like this used to be the norm, but that\u2019s no longer the case as plain language steadily spreads\u2019.<\/p>\n
In contrast to what our Brainstrain judges have been grappling with, judges in our Best Communication category have been reporting lots of good news. They\u2019ve been reviewing nominations that are apparently engaging from the outset, sensitive to the reader, easy to navigate, and attractive. Feedback from one of our judges even implied that one of the nominations they\u2019d reviewed was \u2018fun to read\u2019!<\/p>\n
Make sure you check in to the Newsroom website<\/a> on Thursday, 28 November. We\u2019ll also direct you to the online announcement through our own website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
