Gold Quill Awards: The Business Issue Award
The Business Issue Award is awarded annually by the Gold Quill Awards Blue Ribbon Panel. The panel chooses the most outstanding example of strategically addressing a business issue that poses a significant threat to the economic well being and/or continued viability of an organization. The entry must present a clear, effective and innovative resolution with measurable results and serve as a model for other communication projects focusing on this specific business issue.
All Gold Quill Award-winning entries are automatically considered for the award.
