\nYou\u2019re in for a plain English treat over the next couple of years. This year we\u2019re pushing the People\u2019s Choice Awards to the fore (we\u2019ll be back with the full Awards next year). So right now, in 2019, we\u2019re giving all of you in the public domain the chance to nominate your most and least favourite communications.<\/p>\n

Here are three great reasons to get involved this year.<\/p>\n


\n

You want to do something about frustratingly confusing communications<\/h4>\n

When you nominate a communication for the not-so-coveted Brainstrain award<\/a>, you\u2019ll be helping to make a positive difference to the way organisations communicate. Almost without exception, organisations step up to \u2018take it on the chin\u2019 when nominated for the dreaded bin of sour worm lollies. With the public scrutiny they get from winning the Brainstrain category, they\u2019re motivated to change.<\/p>\n


\n

You want to share a wonderful example of clear communication with the world<\/h4>\n

We love to celebrate the great work happening in so many organisations that are improving the way they communicate. Winning the award for Best Plain English Communication is a public pat on the back for New Zealand\u2019s clearest communicators. Help them get the recognition they deserve<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\n

You want to help improve the lives of everyday Kiwis<\/h4>\n

The People\u2019s Choice Awards help organisations to keep things real with their communications. If they win the Best Plain English Communication award, they\u2019re recognised for getting things right for their audience. If, however, they win the dreaded Brainstrain award, they have plenty of incentive to change for the good.
\nDon\u2019t muck about. It\u2019s time to
send your nominations<\/a> for this year\u2019s People\u2019s Choice Awards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
