Thank you to Melissa Wardell, our previous Awards coordinator, and a 2022 judge, who presented our webinar. And thanks to Steph Prince, judge and previous winner, who shared some advice on judging the Awards and what to look for when applying the judging criteria.

A quick thank you to all judges

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to be a judge in the 2022 Plain Language Awards. We couldn’t do this without you!

And a special thank you to our lead judges for taking on the extra responsibility of leading your panel.

We would also like to thank all the judges that have shared information about the Plain Language Awards on LinkedIn. That has been incredible to see.

We’re looking forward to a great Awards season!
