2010 New Mexico Communication Contest
It’s time to get your entries ready for the annual New Mexico Communication Contest, recognizing excellence in print, broadcast, electronic or Internet media, photography, marketing, public relations, graphic arts and journalism in New Mexico. The submission deadline is Jan. 11, 2010. Awards will be presented at New Mexico Press Women’s annual banquet on Friday, April 16, 2010, at the Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown Hotel. First place winners advance to the national contest.
Hello from Your New Mexico Press Women Communication Contest Chair, Connie Gotsch
We’ve got this year’s contest safely put to bed, but it’s not too early to start thinking of 2010. We need judges from out of state. Mid-summer is a good time to start thinking about them. If you know anyone who might be willing to serve as a judge in the areas of print media, including writing and layout; photography, radio/tv, Internet communications, advertising, electronic media, public relations, print PR, information for the media, speeches, collegiate (student entries print), achievement, research, or books, (non-fiction, fiction, verse), please email their contact information to me at gotschc@sanjuancollege.edu
Also if anyone would like to help locate and confirm judges, that would also be appreciated. If we divided the task among three or four people, it would be fairly painless for everyone.
Please get back to me by Sept. 1, so I (we) can start working on making the 2010 contest better than ever.
