Gold Quill Awards: Student Division
 The Student Gold Quill competition recognizes excellence in communication at the undergraduate and graduate school levels. Entries are judged against the work of peers by a panel of IABC senior communicators. Judges evaluate students’ critical thinking and tactical skills in identifying a communication need, creating and implementing a solution, and assessing results. Entrants will receive an evaluation of their submission. Winners are recognized on IABC’s web site and in Communication World magazine.
