\nIf you\u2019ve been marking off the days on your calendar, you\u2019ll know the time has come. Nominations for the 2019 People\u2019s Choice Awards<\/a> opened last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Success worth being proud of<\/h4>\n
What we love about the People\u2019s Choice Awards, and what many of you have told us you love too, is how our winners react to their success. Winners of our People\u2019s Choice Best category are invariably enormously proud \u2014 and rightly so! Who wouldn\u2019t be? Your work will have been singled out by a member of the public, judged against other outstanding entries, and deemed by the international judging panel to be the best!<\/p>\n

Recognition to take in good humour<\/h4>\n
What about the winner of our award for the worst communication? Our Worst Brainstrain category recognises a document or website that a member of the public has found confusing, frustrating, obscure, or downright horrible. With all the potential fallout from winning this unenviable title, we love that our winners invariably accept their \u2018success\u2019 in good humour. And they see it as an opportunity to start over again, so that their communication serves its audience better.<\/p>\n
