John Cotton Dana Library Public Relations Award competition open for 2007
CHICAGO - Competition is open now for the 2007 John Cotton Dana Library Public Relations Award contest, sponsored by the H. W. Wilson Company and the Library Administration and Management Association (LAMA).
The deadline for entries is December 8, 2006.
Inaugurated in 1946, the John Cotton Dana Award honors outstanding library public relations programs that support a specific project, goal or activity, or a sustained, ongoing program (e.g. the promotion of a summer reading program, a year-long centennial celebration, fundraising for a new college library, an awareness campaign or an innovative partnership in the community).
The contest is open to all libraries and agencies that promote library service.
Entries can be for calendar year 2006 (January-December), school year 2005-2006 (Fall-Spring) or any special project that ends in 2006.
A committee of the LAMA Public Relations and Marketing Section judges the completed entries at the 2007 American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting.
The awards and $3,000 cash grants will be presented during the 2007 ALA Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
