Valuable and Affordable and for all

The Puget Sound Technical Communication Competition is an excellent way to receive feedback for online help, tutorials, Web sites, reference books, brochures, and posters. Each entry will be evaluated by two judges who will give feedback and based on the Society of Technical Communication's international standards.

The minimum competition cost  is $70 per entry for members.
