The ICon Awards, celebrating role models in the internal communication industry, is now accepting entries for 2014. The event is hosted by the Institute of Internal Communication (IoIC), the UK’s only professional body for internal communication practitioners.

IoIC chief executive, Steve Doswell, says, “The ICon Awards celebrate talent, recognising the people who consistently turn theory into great internal communication practice. Whether experienced people or rising stars, through their work, they embody best practice and are role models to follow. With increased pressure to do more with less in the workplace, it’s all the more important that good work is acknowledged and encouraged through awards and recognition.”

There are eight categories available for entry including the ‘Internal communicator of the year award’, an accolade reserved for a senior IC professional who has demonstrated excellence in internal communications for a minimum of five years.

Individuals can nominate themselves or a colleague. The awards will be presented at a ceremony in London on Thursday 13 November. For more information visit the IoIC website.
