The IAM is now accepting entries to its annual Newsletter and Website Competition, a contest that awards excellence in both print and digital labor journalism.
The contest is open to all locals and districts in good standing that have regularly distributed publications for its members and/or regularly updated websites. The competition will consider newsletters published between April 2009 and April 2010, and websites during the judging period this spring.
Newsletters and websites will be critiqued by an independent panel of judges who will declare both local and district winners in the following categories: General Excellence, Best Layout & Design, and Best Feature for publications; and General Excellence and Best Layout & Design for websites.
Last year, NFFE Local 1998 and the National Office combined for a record seven awards, including two first place awards for the national website, www.nffe.org. All NFFE Locals are encouraged to enter one or more submissions into this year’s competition and push that record number even higher.
All entries must be submitted to the IAM Communications Department by midnight Friday, May 14, 2010. Submission forms and entry details can be accessed below or requested by emailing Cory Bythrow at cbythrow@nffe.org. If you any questions, contact the IAM Communications Department at (301) 967-4520.
