   The Society for Technical Communication invites eligible students to participate in the 1998/99 Ken Caird Student Article Competition. This competition recognizes excellence in technical communication articles written by college students.

Awards will be presented as follows:

  • Undergraduate: Distinguished ($1,000) and Excellence ($500)

  • Graduate: Distinguished ($1,000) and Excellence ($500)

  • In addition, winning entries will be honoured and displayed at STC's annual conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, May 16-19, 1999.

    Students can enter any article that has been published in a serial publication since October 1, 1996. The article must contain sufficient technical content to qualify as a technical

    communication. Eligible publications include the following:

  • STC publications

  • Other professional society journals and newsletters

  • Trade publications and newspapers

  • The official entry rules contain a list of representative publications illustrating the breadth of possibilities.

    The only requirement for authors is that they must have been enrolled full-time (as defined by the school's criteria) in a post-secondary technical communication program as a major, minor, or in a field of concentration at the time the article was submitted or accepted for publication. A submitter does not need to be a member of STC to enter the competition.
