After the Conference, we will be posting the results on the web and in the Reports. All winners will receive a Certificate of Excellence for their outstanding newsletters and web sites.
Judging criteria. Not going to spell it all out here but high on the list is readability, timeliness, content, and presentation. We are going to request 3 newsletters from each group, yes, three issues as consistency is also important. You get to choose how to submit your newsletter, HTML, PDF or in Print. Each will be judged in competition with other submissions in the same category. If you have an outstanding printed newsletter, you want to submit it as printed in order to compete with other printed newsletters.
Also, there will be two divisions of group sizes in order to level the playing field as much as possible. Finally, the judging will be focused on what is important to User Groups, Users helping Users.
Don't miss this great opportunity to get some recognition for your group and going home from Vegas with a smile on your face as a winner in the Great
2005 APCUG Newsletter and Web Site Contest.
