ContentEd Awards are back!
ContentEd is a two-day conference that leads the dialogue around the development and advancement of content strategy in the education sector.
Content strategy as a discipline is maturing and evolving all the time. But until we launched ContentEd, there was a lack of dialogue specifically addressing content strategy through a single conference format in the education sector in Europe. ContentEd changed everything. We held our first event in London in 2017, and our programme and community has grown year-on-year, attracting speakers and guests from around the world. For 2022, we are back hosting at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, 3-4 November. And we’re incredibly excited to announce that the ContentEd Awards have returned!
What are the awards?
The ContentEd Awards recognise great content strategy work happening in the education sector. Have you been part of a project you think others should hear about? Do you want to nominate someone who deserves recognition for their work? The awards consist of 6 categories (which you can enter one or all of them!) and the Martin Bojam Award, which is the judges choice.
(In my best oscars voice) The categories are:
Best overall approach to content strategy and content design
Best omni channel content strategy for student marketing and enrolment
Most innovative content marketing campaign
Pioneers award for content operations and collaboration
