Reading time: 1 minute
Mason Hayes & Curran has teamed up with the National Adult Literacy Agency again to launch the second Irish Plain English Awards.
The awards aim to eliminate jargon and gobbledygook by rewarding organisations that communicate clearly and to promote the use of plain English in all public information.
Building on the success of the first awards in 2016, this year’s awards programme has five new categories, including one for the public called ‘Best letter or email rewritten in plain English’. This category will be open to members of the public to rewrite in plain English a confusing letter or email they received from an organisation. Entries for this category will be in with a chance to win €500.
Anyone can enter the competition online at www.nala.ie/plain-english-awards until 5pm on Friday 19th October 2018.
