TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I am preparing some entries for our local STC competition. Two of my
entries are manuals in PDF format that our company provides to customers on
a software CD. The manuals are primarily for the customer to print and use
as physical copy. Although there are hyperlinks, and customers could use
them online.
I can't decide the appropriate category for entry. Last year, I had a
similar entry and entered it in the Online Competition as a Book. Although
it won an award, one judge criticized me for entering in that category.
Anyone else have a similar story?
