2010 NINA contest announced

Hello, NINA members.


Newly posted on our website today is all the information you need for this year's NINA contest.

We'll be sending a print mailing later this week, but everything's on the website now for you to get started. Please read everything carefully. We've made some significant changes this year. Most noticeably, the contest is now grouped into two divisions: dailies (4x a week or more) and non-dailies (less than 4x a week). We've added several categories and removed a couple of others, in hopes of reflecting the types of work most of our members are doing and the types of work NINA wants to encourage.

Also new this year is an entry form available online. You'll fill out the fields, save and print the form for each entry. For the entries themselves, we're encouraging PDFs rather than tearsheets -- though we'll accept either. No online entry submission just yet; you'll still send everything by mail, including a CD with PDF files.

Note the June 30 postmark deadline for entries. THIS WILL NOT BE EXTENDED this year, so please plan accordingly.

And our usual web address, http://www.ninaonline.org/, is now working again. So you can use either that or www.northernstar.info/nina.

Please let us know if you have any questions, and good luck!
