What is the STC competition?

The STC competition recognises individuals and groups for excellence in technical communication. The competition is a great way to get feedback on your work from an expert judging panel of your technical communication peers.

STC competitions are held regionally and internationally. STC Australia is hosting competitions in three categories:

• Technical publications
• Technical art
• Online communication

Entries of an appropriate standard are entered in the STC International Competition, and Australian entries have won awards in this competition in past years.

Each entrant receives a comprehensive critique from each of the three judges on the category panel.

To take advantage of the benefits of this competition, start preparing now!

Awards

Four levels of achievement are recognised:

• Best of Show--may be awarded to one entry in each competition category
• Distinguished
