Let’s celebrate New Zealand’s and Australia’s clearest communicators
The Plain Language Awards are gearing up for their most exciting year yet.
Communication is the bedrock of society, so let’s make it as inclusive as possible.
Our plain language experts from around the world have been reviewing and scoring this year’s entries, on the lookout for sparkling clarity and pristine presentation.
And now we’re excited to announce our 2023 finalists! Follow the link below to see who shone out from the crowd.
This year’s Awards ceremony will combine all the best bits of previous Awards ceremonies to create something truly special. We will be celebrating with glitz and glamour in the splendid halls of the New Zealand Parliament, which couldn’t be more fitting, with the Plain Language Act coming into effect this year. But if you are a far-flung fan, never fear! We’ve got you covered too — we’ll be live streaming the event around the world so everyone can still join in. So go buy some new party shoes, or a fancy onesie if you’ll be joining from the comfort of your couch, and be sure to put 26 October in your diary!
