Trade Union Communications Awards 2015

Issue date

17 Dec 2014

Warners logo Welcome to the TUC Trade Union Communications Awards for 2015. We are delighted to announce that Warners have again agreed to sponsor the awards – many thanks to them.

There are seven categories which are:

best journal/magazine for members
best feature
best photograph or illustration
best one-off publication
best campaign
best union website
best use of e-communications: video

View the category definitions here.

The entry forms can be found by clicking on the individual category links below and each form outlines in detail what is required for that category. Please read all entry rules carefully and follow the instructions below. Entries must have been published between March 2014 and February 2015. Please note that we are changing the ‘best use of e-communications’ category this year to cover only videos. Please read the rules for this category with particular care.

Please submit only one entry per category. Seven copies of category one and four copies of all other categories are required. Please attach a form to each entry. Please return your entries marked for the attention of Alen Mathewson in the Campaigns and Communications Department.

The closing date for entries is 3pm Friday 13 February 2015. Final judging will take place in May and the awards ceremony will be at Congress House on Tuesday 7 July 2015 from 6pm to 8pm. Please put this date in your diary.

As usual, an exhibition of the entries will be on display at Congress House on the evening of the awards and during Congress in Brighton in September.

In order to assist us with the compilation of the exhibition and the publication “Judges’ Comments and Focus on the Winners” please also submit (or ask your printer to submit) a high resolution PDF of your entries. Please note that these are for illustrative purposes only and will not form part of the judging. We don’t therefore need the entire entry; so in Categories One and Four, you might submit a PDF of the cover and a single spread of your choice. In Category Five this could be a PDF of one or two items from your campaign. In Categories Six and Seven this could be a PDF of some screengrabs of your choice. Please use a portal such as yousendit.com (now hightail.com), send them to Alen Mathewson (amathewson@tuc.org.uk) or send them on a CD.
