Sponsor the Awards
The Center’s ClearMark Awards help us encourage companies, agencies, and nonprofit organizations to communicate clearly. Each year, we have over 150 entries. Our expert judges select finalists and winners for web sites, original documents, and revised documents.
The competition got press coverage from NPR, Federal News Radio, the Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, as well as many blogs and industry web sites. We expect continued attention this year because of the Plain Writing Act, which went into effect in October 2011, and the newly proposed Plain Regulations Act.
Help the Center’s plain language campaign by sponsoring the awards. Join us for great food and entertainment at the awards ceremony on May 22 at the National Press Club, as part of the Clarity 2012 Conference.
