No Plain English Awards for 2020 — but we’ll be back
Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on many individuals and organisations, we’ve decided not to run the Awards this year.
However, while the Awards are off for 2020, we will be back soon. We’ve loved the wonderful examples of plain English that we’ve seen in New Zealand and overseas during the pandemic. This heightened interest in clear communication gives us an extra incentive to get back up and running when the time’s right.
