Communications Contests

Alaska State Communications Contest

For more than 30 years our Alaskan organization has offered members a contest in many categories of communications work--print journalism, public relations, broadcasting, writing for the web, and literary and educational pursuits.

First-place winners go on to national judging in the competition managed by the National Federation of Press Women. Judges are recognized experts in their field, or occasionally teachers in the field at the university level.

The contest is now open to Alaskans other than APC members. Entry fees are $20 per entry for members, $30 for nonmembers. In keeping with NFPW regulations, nonmembers who win first place in the Alaska contest must join APC if they want their entries to be sent forward to the national competition. If you have questions about the contest, please contact the Contest Coordinator, Lee Ault. 

The 2010 Contest Deadline has past. Please watch for an announcement of local winners at our luncheon on May 6, 2010!
