Enrollment Guide Given Competition’s Top Honor
There is a new gold statue at the Employees Benefits Council.
The agency’s Benefits Enrollment Guide for Plan Year 2008 received the Communicator Award of Excellence in this year’s judging. Winning entries for the 14th Annual Communicator Awards were selected by the International Academy of the Visual Arts, an invitation-only body consisting of top tier professionals from acclaimed media, communications, advertising, creative and marketing firms.
The Communicator Awards is the leading international awards program honoring creative excellence for communications professionals. The competition received approximately 9,000 entries from companies and agencies of all sizes, making it one of the largest awards of its kind in the world. The Award of Excellence is the competition’s highest honor, “given to those entries whose ability to communicate puts them among the best in the field.” Previous enrollment guides by the Employees Benefits Council have earned Communicator Awards of Distinction in 2006 and 2007.
The Communicator statuette is made by RS Owens, the same firm that produces the Oscar® and Emmy® Awards. For more information about the Communicator Awards, go to www.communicatorawards.com.
