Quick, quick! Boldly enter New Zealand's Plain English Awards

Do not hesitate, as they say. To enter.

If you care about plain English, you never think your web content is good enough.

But hey, it's probably way better than most! Maybe some of your organisation's web content is really rather good. You may be suffering from ultra-sensitivity. Why? Because you care about clear communication. Because you know about plain English.

Applause, applause!

If you care, enter your own or somebody else's web content in the amazing annual award ceremony for New Zealand's Plain English awards. They honour those who write plain English. Kevin Milne of Fair Go will once again be the MC, and the winners inevitably get great media coverage.

Heaps of entries = a howling success.
