2012 nominations are closed

The ClearMark awards honor the best in clear communication and plain language, celebrating documents and web sites from government, non-profits, and private companies that succeed in communicating clearly. That’s a good step towards making all our information easier to understand.

If you have a project – a web site, brochure, form, legal writing, instruction or any other information – that you think is one of the best, consider nominating it for a ClearMark Award.

The WonderMark awards are your chance to tell the world what’s not plain. Forms, signage, websites. Disclaimers, instructions, legal documents. All the things you encounter in daily life. Now there’s something that you can do about it — make it public!

You may nominate a WonderMark any time, but the nominations are closed for the 2012 awards.
