The 26 ‘Golden Keyboard’ Awards

A commercial writing awards scheme is an idea several members have mooted. The question is, how do we go about organising it in a manageable and typically 26 way?

At our big annual pow-wow earlier in the month, we decided that we’d ask you, dear 26-ers, to put forward any nominations you may have. That could be something you’ve written yourself, that’s popped through your letterbox, fallen out of a magazine, that you’ve seen in a shop, on a poster or a web site.

When our own bigger, better, all-conquering web site is up and running later in the year, we’ll post your nominations in cyberspace for due consideration. Then we’ll either assemble a panel of experts to pick the winners, or we’ll put it to a more democratic vote.

Finally, we’ll have a party to celebrate.

So if you see a piece of commercial writing that tickles your fancy, file it away in a box marked ‘excellent’ and be prepared to share it with us at a later date.
