The Clarion Awards is a renowned competition recognizing the best works from all communications fields. Entries are judged against the work of their peers in size and budget to ensure that everyone from the largest ad agency to the smallest newspaper are fairly considered.
One Clarion Award is given in each category unless, in the opinion of the judge, no award is merited. Communications professionals will evaluate entries for substance, style, originality and achievement of objective. AWC reserves the right to move entries between categories. All winners are recognized in the association's newsletter, The InterCom, announced to the press, and honored during The Association for Women in Communications annual conference.
