Become a Judge

Get a front-row seat to the GTA’s top talent!

For more than 37 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 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards offers the GTA communications profession an opportunity to present its best work. It celebrates and promotes excellence from the communications profession and fosters a greater appreciation of it.

Each year, senior IABC communicators volunteer their time to review and evaluate hundreds of outstanding award submissions from leading organizations across the GTA. It is one of the exclusive benefits of an IABC membership that provides professional development and networking opportunities. 

As we prepare for another record year of award submissions, we are looking for GTA’s top communicators to serve on our panel of judges. Our judges are critical and highly valued for their role and leadership. They not only evaluate submissions, but they also provide insightful feedback that helps our entrants develop as communications practitioners. 

We are currently accepting applications from senior communicators who would like to join our panel of esteemed judges. 

Get a front row seat to some of the best and most innovative work in communications in Toronto.

What you need 

  • IABC/Toronto membership in good standing
  • 10 or more years of experience as a communications professional 
  • Accreditation in communications is a plus 
    • For example:
      • Communication Management Professional® (CMP®)
      • Strategic Communication Management Professional® (SCMP®)
      • Accredited Business Communicator (ABC)
  • A passion for continuing to develop professionally and network with some of the best communicators in the GTA

What we need

  • Your LinkedIn profile 
  • Commitment to complete our mandatory IABC/Toronto OVATION Award webinar training
  • Commitment to complete and reconcile evaluations within the stipulated timelines

We thank all applicants for their interest. Those selected to join the judging panel will be contacted by the IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards Judging Committee directly.
