The NFPW Communications Contest recognizes excellence in
communications. The "message" — how well it communicates, how it is directed
to its target audience, how well it achieves its objectives — is the judging
standard. Entrants must be professional, student, or retired members of the
National Federation of Press Women. The contest is managed through the state
affiliates. Please contact state contest directors about statewide contests
during the fall, because state deadlines usually are in December or January,
to allow time for judging and processing for the national contest in the
spring. In Delaware, contact DPA contest director
Annie Nefosky at 302-834-6779 or
annienefosky@yahoo.com.
Awards in any given category or sub-category shall be
limited to first, second and third place and honorable mention. No ties are
allowed. Judges may decide the number of awards to give within these limits
(awards are to be given only if the judge deems them merited). Judges'
decisions shall be final. All awards shall be honorary, except sweepstakes
awards.
Sweepstakes winners are determined by a point system
based on the number of entries per category. The individual sweepstakes
winners receive a plaque and $250, 2nd place receives $150, and third
receives $100. The affiliate with the highest number of points receives
$100.
