"This isn't just about winning an award," says Camilla Osborne, IABC Africa chair. "The Silver Quill Awards Programme is a powerful platform for communicators to shine, showcasing their innovative work and establishing themselves as leaders in the industry."

The awards programme offers more than recognition. It's an opportunity to validate strategic initiatives, inspire teams and build a portfolio of award-winning work that can propel your career, says the IABC. 

Imagine groundbreaking projects being celebrated by peers and industry leaders, leading to speaking engagements, publishing opportunities and a significant reputation boost, adds the IABC.
