Each year, cash awards are presented to a student in one of the last three grade levels before college (for example, grades 10, 11, or 12 for U.S. high school students) whose papers demonstrate outstanding technical writing skills.
Entries are judged by a panel of professional editors, writers, scientists, and educators. Judges evaluate the quality of each student's writing, clarity of the purpose, significance of the topic, effectiveness of the organization, and soundness of the conclusions. They also appraise the use and documentation of reference materials, as well as the use of visual and graphic aids.
The ISTCC demonstrates the Society's commitment to encourage early development of technical communication skills.
