COLLEGE STATION – The magazine and annual report from the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University have taken top honors at the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Southern Region’s 2020 Silver Quill Awards.
TG magazine and “Telling Our Story: 2018-19 Real Estate Center Annual Report + 2020 Calendar” received Awards of Excellence. The Silver Quill Awards recognize the best communications efforts entered from 13 U.S. states, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
Rather than being judged against one another, entries are evaluated on their own merits using IABC’s Global Scale of Excellence seven-point criteria. Awards were presented during the Southern Region’s virtual awards ceremony Thursday.
TG is a quarterly magazine covering Real Estate Center research findings. It is distributed to more than 185,000 Texas real estate agents. The annual report is popular because it includes a calendar featuring Texas scenery.
Earlier in 2020, the Real Estate Center took home an IABC Houston Bronze Quill Award of Excellence and IABC’s top international recognition, the Gold Quill Award of Excellence. Both were for the Center’s annual report.
Since 1978, the Real Estate Center has received some 250 communications awards.
The Real Estate Center has a wealth of economic information online for free.
