	AWARDS

Time to enter the 2008 AAEA Awards Programs!
Click here for the new entry forms for Writing, Design, Photography and MarComm. The deadline for photography is a bit earlier this year -- Christine McClintic must RECEIVE your photo entries by April 15, 2008, in order for them to be considered. For the other three programs, the POSTMARK deadline is April 15.

Please read the entry rules on the forms carefully. We're going digital with Design this year -- except for the overall issue and special publication categories, all entries will consist of a PDF file of the design plus one tear sheet. See the entry form for specs and how to name your files. For MarComm, we've simplified the entry process and reduced the number of sets you need to send for each entry.

As always, you need to be a current AAEA member in order to enter. That means renewing your dues and/or joining as a new member by the entry deadline if your dues are not up to date. ($170 for new members; $190 for late renewals.)

Let us know if you have questions -- Marilyn Cummins (Writing, Design, MarComm -- 573-447-1487); Christine McClintic (Photo -- 913-441-3880).
