About

The Gold Quill awards have long been established as the pinnacle achievement for professional communicators around the globe. Each year they attract hundreds of high-quality international entries from across the industry, showcasing the demonstrable impact that communicators can deliver for their stakeholders. The Gold Quills are not easy, and an entry does not guarantee success. They are rigorously evaluated by seasoned professionals, who undertake annual training and follow consistent guidelines that embed an equitable, impartial, and thorough review of each entry. And for over four decades, successful entries have endowed significant credibility to the individuals and teams whose exceptional work is deserving of the accolade.

The winners repeatedly acknowledge that the discipline required to complete a submission and the feedback received by the evaluators provides invaluable guidance for their everyday work. Win or lose, it’s an unparalleled opportunity to find out how your work could shine even brighter on the world stage.
