STC's Newsletter Competition
By Elizabeth Bailey, Manager, Newsletter Competition, and Fellow, Lone Star Community
The STC Newsletter Competition rewards excellence in chapter, student chapter, and special interest group (SIG) newsletters that communicate news about and develop interest in the Society for Technical Communication. All communities are encouraged to enter the competition.
Three consecutive issues of either a paper or online version published between February 1, 2007, and January 31, 2008, must be submitted (yes, the competition year has already started). Online entries must include a URL and a note on the entry form stating the three consecutive issues to be evaluated. For paper entries, nine copies (two may be photocopies) of each issue must be submitted. The Newsletter Competition Entry Form and Newsletter Competition Supplemental Checklist, along with the Rules for the STC Newsletter Competition, are available for download from the STC Web site. Remember to include a completed supplemental checklist for each issue you submit.
Please note that the STC Newsletter Competition has two deadlines:
- The entry form, supplemental checklist, and at least the first issue are due at the Society office by October 15, 2007 (postmark date for paper-based entries).
- The remaining issues, along with supplemental checklists, are due at the Society office by January 11, 2008 (postmark date for paper-based entries).
Please send all physical entry materials to the Society office (Society for Technical Communication, Attn: Newsletter Competition, 901 N. Stuart Street, Suite 904, Arlington, VA 22203-1822). E-mail all electronic entry materials to Lloyd Tucker, Director of Education and Membership (with “Newsletter Competition” typed in the subject line).
An entry packet including a copy of the competition rules, an entry form, sample evaluation forms, and instructions will be e-mailed to all chapter presidents, student chapter advisors, SIG managers, and newsletter editors on record with the Society office. If you hold one of these offices and have not received an e-mail by September 15, 2007, please access the packet materials online.
