WriteMark New Zealand Plain English Awards

Each year organisations and members of the public are invited to submit documents and websites that they think are outstanding examples of plain English — or of gobbledygook.

An independent panel of professional plain English experts and advocates judges the entries and decides the finalists and winners in each category.

The awards are hosted by the WriteMark Plain English Awards Trust.

The annual Plain English Awards aim to:

  • raise public awareness of the need for and benefits of plain English
  • create a public preference for organisations that choose to communicate in plain English
  • promote the importance of writing to an agreed plain English standard.

The 2009 Plain English Awards will be held on 18 September.
