\nAwards media partner Newsroom will announce the winners of this year\u2019s People\u2019s Choice Awards on Thursday, 28 November.<\/p>\n


\n

We can\u2019t wait to find out which of our finalists have come out tops. And we\u2019re very excited to have the support of Newsroom<\/a> to help us spread the word.

All sorts of goodies await the winner of the Best Plain English Communication<\/h4>\n

We know our judges have been thinking long and hard about which of the top four nominations in their category deserves to win. What can the finalists, all supported by members of the public, look forward to if they win?<\/p>\n

First of all, we\u2019re pretty sure they\u2019ll be celebrating their award, knowing that their communication has had a positive impact in the world.<\/p>\n

As well, thanks to our wonderful sponsors, the winner will walk away with some fabulous prizes.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll be thrilled to receive the iconic trophy in steel and bronze by Wellington sculptor Campbell Maud. They\u2019ll enjoy using the latest StyleWriter plain English editing software from Editor Software to craft future documents.<\/p>\n

And we think they\u2019ll be excited to extend their skills with a place on any of Write Limited\u2019s 1-day open workshops<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A little bit of fun for our Brainstrain winner<\/h4>\n

Our Brainstrain judges are all industry experts and take their roles very seriously. Even so, we always present the Brainstrain Award with good humour. That\u2019s why the winner of the Worst Brainstrain Communication gets the famous Brainstrain rubbish bin filled with sour worms.<\/p>\n
