ENTRY RULES

Who should enter

The E2E Communication Awards identify excellence in employee communication efforts from the strategic to the tactical. If your internal communications are meeting their goals, you should enter—whether you're an employee communication specialist or a communication generalist, a writer or a communication executive.

Entry prep

For each entry, electronically submit or mail one copy of the entry form along with an essay of 500–1000 words demonstrating that your communication vehicle, program, or campaign achieved its intended results. (Attach or send sample materials if applicable.)

Eligibility

The awards program is open to all companies, organizations, and institutions involved in producing internal communications—but not those created by McMurry, Inc. To be eligible for a E2E Communication Award, an entry must have been produced between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010.

Award nominator

The person submitting the entry will be our permanent contact throughout the course of the awards program, and will receive all correspondence, including receipt of entry and winning entry acknowledgement.

Choosing categories

Over 50 categories are considered in the E2E Communication Awards. Entrants may nominate their publication in one or multiple categories. There is a fee for each category entered. Judges reserve the right to change your entry to fit the appropriate category.

Judging procedure
