ARRL OHIO  SECTION  NEWSLETTER  CONTEST  RULES

 

In today’s publishing world there are now many different types of formats for submission of a newsletter to be entered in the Ohio Section Newsletter Contest (paper, electronic text, pdf, desktop publishing and html, to name a few). Each one of these different formats has its own unique positives and negatives, and as such are not part of the judging / scoring of the contest. The following are the rules on how the newsletters will be judged / scored:

 

Through my research, I've come up with five categories. Each category was worth between zero and five ( 0 - 5 ) points and include:

  • Content

  • Audience

  • Visual

  • Contact Info

  • Call to Action

Also, despite my monthly pleas here, many newsletters are still not getting to me. So, there is a bonus category for “Following Directions!” The decision of the judges is final.

 

You all do outstanding work, and I am proud to say I am a member of the Ohio Section.

 

Entries for the contest can start now! Please add ke8fmj@gmail.com  to your mailing list if you haven’t already. You do not want to miss out on the bonus points, so please be sure to add me to your list. Don’t let not following directions be the reason you didn’t win!
 

So, crank up the presses and send me your newsletters. Good luck, and remember, everyone is a winner!
