Entry forms for the 2010 Plain English Awards
We need more 'Brainstrain' nominations!
There have been more entries than ever in the 2010 Plain English Awards, but very few in the 'Brainstrain' category. You can help by nominating whatever unfathomable gobbledygook you’re recently had to read!
We’ve extended the deadline for People’s Choice nominations until 5pm Tuesday 13 July (entries for all other categories are closed).
There are many poorly worded documents and websites out there that frustrate or disadvantage people every day. Don’t let them go unchallenged. Nominate them now. You can also enter a document or website that impressed you with its clarity.
Please use the links below for entry forms for each award.
Entries close 5pm Tuesday 13 July 2010.
Category 6: People’s Choice
What happens to your entry once you’ve submitted it?
Judges first select up to ten shortlisted entries, and then three finalists, including the winner, for each award category. All decisions from the independent judging panel are final.
