Subject: 2009 AAUW of Minnesota Branch Newsletter Awards
As the time for the 2009 AAUW of Minnesota State Convention nears, it is time as well for branch newsletter editors to submit their best issue for judging in the branch newsletter awards competition. Awards will be presented at the state convention in Owatonna on April 25, 2009.
We hope that you will submit an issue for judging whether it is in print format or digital format. The newsletter must have been sent to your branch members between July 1, 2008, and April 1, 2009. It is important that your newsletter reach me by April 10, 2009, to allow adequate time for judging prior to the convention.
If you distribute your newsletter electronically by email or web site, simply email your issue to me. Please do this even if you regularly email your branch’s newsletter to me. In the body of the email, include the information in the form below.
If you distribute your newsletter by print format only, you have two options for submitting the issue:
• First, if you prepare your newsletter on a computer, and then have it printed for mailing, you can either send me the computer file by email or send three printed copies of the same issue to me. My computer can read most word processing applications, with the exception of Publisher and InDesign. If you use either of these applications, please create a PDF file and email that to me. In the body of the email, please include the information at the bottom of this page.
• A second option is to mail three printed copies of the same issue to me, so that I can distribute them to the other two judges. Complete the form at the bottom of this page and include it with your three copies. When you send your newsletter by email to me, please put AAUW Branch Newsletter Competition in the subject line of the message. This will help me spot your email when it arrives. I will send you a reply that I have received your email.
Newsletter judging criteria include: Content, Editorial Quality, Layout and Design, and Overall Effectiveness. See you at convention! Bobbie
