For more than 36 years, the Toronto chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC/Toronto) has celebrated professionals for their talent and creative brilliance through the prestigious OVATION Awards program.
The program offers award categories relevant to corporate communications, public relations, marketing professionals, event planners, writers, graphics designers, videographers and photographers.
Over the last two years, a lot has changed. We’ve all had life-changing experiences and moments. However, throughout our journeys, our resiliency stood out. We have seen our communications evolve with us. As we continue to engage and explore these new shifts, we have become more aware of the Power of Communications.
Here is your opportunity to share your journey with your peers. It is your time to present your best work for industry recognition and feedback.
You can choose from four divisions and more than 25 categories to submit your project. Whether you’ve managed a full strategy, conducted formative research, performed communication training or produced an outstanding tactic – there’s a category for you!
The 2022 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards program is aligned with IABC’s global and national awards programs, making it easy for you to submit one entry for multiple awards.
