APME JOURNALISM EXCELLENCE AWARDS: CALL FOR ENTRIES
It's time to nominate your best work for the 2008 APME Journalism Excellence Awards. We are making several exciting changes to this year's competition. For the first time all entries will be submitted online. Forget about digging up old copies of stories, preparing massive entry books, looking for back issues and calling FedEx the night before the entries are due. All you'll need to do is go to our contest Web site, take a couple minutes to set up your account, then start typing in the descriptions of your entries and uploading the nomination letters, story or page .PDFs and any other files you wish to include. At the end of the process you'll have the opportunity to pay the unchanged contest entry fees by credit card or other form of payment. Some other changes for 2008:
■ Unlimited entries in each category. Previously there had been a limit of one.
■ Earlier deadlines. Because of the earlier date of the APME conference at which the awards will be presented (Sept. 8-11 in Las Vegas) this year's deadline is June 2, with a late entry date of June 9.
■ Shorter contest cycle. The eligibility period during which entries must have been published is July 1, 2007, to May 31, 2008.
■ Earlier Innovator Deadline. The APME Innovator of the Year award competition period will coincide with APME's four other award competitions: Public Service, First Amendment, Online Convergence and International Perspective.
