Willamette Valley Chapter 2008-2009 STC Competitions
The Willamette Valley Chapter of the Society
for Technical Communication invites you to submit your work for
consideration in one or more of the following 2008-2009 Willamette
Valley Chapter competitions:
Entries that receive the highest
level of distinction
in the WVC competitions are eligible to be forwarded
(with the
submitters' consent and additional entry fees) to the
international
STC competitions, where they will compete with entries
from around
the world. (WVC will subsidize the international
competition entry
fees for DTC winners who are members of the Willamette
Valley or
Mid-Valley chapters.)
All technical communicators—including
students and non-STC
members—are eligible to enter the WVC competitions. STC
members
who belong to chapters that are not holding competitions this
year are also
welcome to enter. You may submit your own work or submit
entries on behalf
of your coworkers (with their consent). All competition entries
will be
acknowledged and each submitter will receive a copy of each
judge's evaluation
of his or her entry.
Take advantage of this opportunity
to have
your work evaluated and recognized by members of the
foremost
professional organization in the Technical
Communication industry.
Even if your entry does not receive an award, you
will receive
valuable feedback that may give you new ideas and a
wider perspective
on your work. Having your entry receive a Merit,
Excellence,
or Distinguished designation is just icing on the
cake!
Complete competition rules, submission instructions,
and the required Entry Submission Forms can be found in the Willamette
Valley Chapter 2008-2009 Competition Call for Entries, which can
be downloaded from the Entry Sumission Forms page.
The deadline for all three 2008- 2009 WVC competitions
is Monday, October 20, 2008.
Entries must be received by
the posted date. Please mail entries directly to the Competition
Manager, Jeff Williams (see the Call for Entries for address and
details).
If you have any questions about the competition,
please contact Jeff at competition@stcwvc.org.
Competition
Judging
The WVC also invites you to serve as
a competition judge. As a judge, you will be exposed to a variety of
ideas and examples that may influence your own work. Serving as a
judge also allows you to be part of an international effort
to encourage quality in and set standards for our profession. You
can serve as a judge even if you plan to submit entries—we
will make sure that you do not judge your own entry.
For more information about judging, see the Call for
Judges.
