Annual WVC Competition Award Winners
The Willamette Valley Chapter's annual Technical Publications, Technical Art, and Online Communication competitions received 70 entries this year. More than 40 judges volunteered their time and expertise to evaluate the entries and provide feedback to the entrants.
There are three levels of awards. In descending order, they are Distinguished, Excellence and Merit. Since these awards represent levels of accomplishment with reference to a standard, all entries are evaluated on their own merits; they are not compared to each other. Distinguished entries go on to the STC's international competition.
Distinguished
The entry meets or exceeds high standards in all areas, and contains
no major flaws and few, if any, minor flaws. It applies the principles
of technical communication in a superior manner, particularly in how
it anticipates and fulfills the needs of its audience.
Excellence
The entry consistently meets high standards in all or most areas. It might
contain a single major flaw or a few minor flaws. It clearly demonstrates
an exceptional understanding of technical communication principles.
Merit
The entry consistently meets high standards in most or some areas. It
might contain major or minor flaws, but still applies technical communication
principles proficiently.
