ADDY® AWARDS
The ADDY Awards deadline is just around the corner (next week!) and we would love to see our great students clean up at the ADDYs.
This year, Valerie Jones will oversee our student entries and help students with their work.
To ease the burden, CoJMC is able to cover the $35 entry fee. The budget is limited, however, so we can only submit the best work.
Here's how it works:
* Please have work submitted to VALERIE (emailed or put in her mailbox; valeriejones@unl.edu) NO LATER THAN 10:00 am on Nov. 13. The ADDYs deadline is Nov. 15.
* She'll review it with a colleague and work with a grad student to coordinate submission of the work. All work ultimately has to be both printed and uploaded to the entry site by the student.
* Categories include: radio, TV, copywriting, digital advertising, consumer/trade pub, newspaper, out of home, sales promotion, collateral material, and more.
