Competition Categories
***ATTENTION: The competition categories have changed.***
Informational MaterialsInformational materials are designed to attract potential buyers while providing information about a technical or scientific subject, product, service, or organization. The materials must persuade the audience favorably toward the subject or sponsor. Visual design, including production, is very important. So, too, is editing, because errors are very obvious.
The Informational Materials category includes all entries that are intended to inform the user of information without a specific call to action. These materials might include annual reports, articles, books, error messages, magazines, newsletters, periodicals, posters, research papers, and websites.
Instructional MaterialsThe Instructional Category includes all entries that train a user/learner on a particular set of skills and knowledge. These materials might include CBTs, facilitator guides, instructional animations or videos, student guides, tutorials, and webinars.
Promotional MaterialsThe Promotional Category includes all entries that are intended to market or promote a product, company, individual, or event. The materials must persuade the audience to some action, using integrated text and figures. Visual design, including production, is very important. So, too, is editing, because errors are very obvious. These materials might include brochures, catalogs, fliers, posters, and websites.
User Support MaterialsThe User Support Category includes all entries that provide information needed to support the user in performing specific tasks for independent use by the audience. These materials might include online help, job aids, quick start or reference guides, reference documents, user guides, and websites.
