Awards Overview

STACI stands for STC Technical Achievement In Communicating Information. It is the collective name for awards given to winners of the annual STC Boston/Northern New England Online Communication, Technical Art, and Technical Publications Competitions.

The Oscar, Tony, and Emmy awards are awarded annually in recognition of outstanding achievement in their respective professions. They represent the highest honor bestowed on performers by their peers. In the same way, we hope the STACI will bring to mind the same standard of excellence and peer recognition and will gain acceptance as an icon for excellence in Technical Writing.

Competition Awards
