ILCA ANNOUNCES CONTEST WINNERS
(NEW YORK, NY) – The International Labor Communications Association (ILCA) today announced its one-of-a-kind labor communications contest winners. Annually, the organization hosts what is now the largest competition exclusively for labor journalists and communicators. Thousands of entries that tell the story of the global labor movement are judged by experts in the field across the industry.
The awards are open to all ILCA members and organizations and are given in two different classes: national/international unions, federations, councils, and allied organizations; and local/regional/state federations, central/area labor councils, and allied organizations. ILCA award categories are in general excellence, visual communications, best multimedia campaign, writing, electronic media, best use of earned media, political action, and organizing.
ILCA also gives out Saul Miller Awards for writing and the Max Steinbock Award. The Saul Miller awards highlight excellent writing connected to the areas of organizing, collective bargaining, and political action. The Max Steinbock Award, ILCA's highest award for journalistic excellence, is given in recognition of outstanding effort that explores an issue of concern to working families, paying particular attention to insight into the human spirit.
