We've had a large number of last minute entries and could use a few more judges to help with the competition. Please consider applying to be a judge in this year's competition.

The competition orientation meeting is October 4th at the CARA Group office in Oak Brook. If you've never judged before, don't miss out on this great opportunity to work with other technical communicators and see work from around the industry.

Even if you haven't judged in a few years, consider volunteering again. Our updated form provides more guidance on how to judge entries. 

Still undecided? Check out the Competition webpage for more information, or contact competition@stc-chicago.com with any questions.
