COTY Awards

The COTY awards are an opportunity to celebrate and reflect on a year of professional and personal achievement, to network with peers and to be proud of all that internal communication has achieved.

Three other prizes are made at the awards lunch:

  • Communicator of the Year (nominated by IoIC members)
  • Diamond Award for Outstanding Achievement by an IoIC Member (decided by an IoIC panel)
  • Best IoIC accreditation programme student (nominated by the IoIC’s Professional Development committee).
