Well, it's that time again. End of the year. Those of you in real companies and organizations are thinking of your performance reviews and wishing you had a taken the time to enter your great material in some awards competitions. After all, we are the silent profession. If not for awards ceremonies, how does anyone really know what we do - or how good we do it? Wouldn't a nice award look awfully good to the boss?
So what's keeping you from entering the grand-daddy of speechwriting awards competitions: The Cicero Speechwriting Awards sponsored by that most august of speech publications, Vital Speeches.As Cicero Awards chairman and known flimflam man David Murray puts it,
these awards "recognize the work—the sweat and the blood and the magic—that
goes into making the speeches that help leaders achieve prominence in all
sectors of business, politics and society."
In addition to a nice certificate, Cicero-winning speeches are included
in a broadly publicized book of winners and lauded in a special presentation at
the Building and Protecting Reputation 2010 conference in Phoenix in February …
a Cicero Speechwriting Award will showcase your work as a superior example of
contemporary oratory, and it will recognize you, the writer, as a standout in
your field. Again, that according to the prolific blogger and noted motorcycle
enthusiast Murray.
So send in any speech - send in every speech -
that you’re proud of having written, delivered or both. Here's everything you
need:
So, instead of waiting and
wishing, enter now. Get recognized. Put it on your resume. Impress your boss, your mom or
your spouse.
I found your blog while searching on Google your post looks very interesting for me.Keep up the good work!
