Communications Contests
Alaska State Communications Contest
For more than 30 years our Alaskan organization has offered members a contest in many categories of communications work--print journalism, public relations, broadcasting, writing for the web, and literary and educational pursuits.
First-place winners go on to national judging in the competition managed by the National Federation of Press Women. Judges are recognized experts in their field, or occasionally teachers in the field at the university level.
The contest is open to Alaskans other than APC members. The entry deadlines for the 2012 contest are:
- Book entries (Categories 75-81) must be postmarked by Thursday, January 19, 2012.
- All other entries must be postmarked by Thursday, February 2, 2012.
Entry fees are $20 per entry for members, $30 for nonmembers. In keeping with National Federation of Press Women (NFPW) regulations, nonmembers who win first place in the Alaska contest must join APC if they want their entries to be sent forward to the national competition. If you have questions about the contest, please contact Diane Walters dwalters@gci.net or Carolyn Rinehart ccrinehart@gci.net.
