About the 2014 STC Regional TechComm Competition
The competition is open to anyone (student or professional) who produces technical communication, training material, or content for the web and other devices. Membership in the Society for Technical Communication (STC) is not a requirement and entrants don't have to belong to the STC New York, Philadelphia or Houston chapters. Competitors may enter work as a team, an individual, or on behalf of a colleague.
Entrants compete in the following categories:
Instructional Materials train users on skills and knowledge using solutions like eLearning, mobile learning, workbooks, wikis, social media, facilitator guides, instructional animations, videos, student guides, tutorials and webinars.
User Support Materials provide information for the user in performing specific tasks for independent use including performance support, online help, mobile help, job aids, quick start or reference guides, reference documents, user guides and websites.
Promotional Materials market or promote a product, company, individual, or event that aim to persuade the audience to some action, using integrated figures and text. Examples may include websites, brochures, catalogs, fliers, and posters.
Informational Materials inform the user without a specific call to action. Examples may include annual reports, articles, books, error messages, magazines, newsletters, periodicals, posters, research papers and websites.
Regional competition entries can earn the following awards in descending order:
Distinguished Technical Communication - Clearly superior in all areas. The entry contains no major flaws and few, if any, minor flaws. It applies the principles of technical communication in an outstanding way, particularly in the way that it anticipates and fulfills the needs of its audience.
Excellence - Consistently meets high standards in all areas. The entry might contain a single major flaw or a few minor flaws. The entry clearly (if slightly imperfectly) demonstrates an exceptional understanding of technical communication principles.
Merit - Consistently meets high standards in most areas. The entry might contain a small number of major or minor flaws, but it still applies technical communication principles in a highly proficient manner.
Only regional Distinguished and Excellence awardees qualify for the next level which is the STC International Summit Awards competition.
