by Marisa Ellison, Competitions Director for the National Association of Government Communicators and Customer Relations Manager for the Missouri Department of Transportation (Northeast District)
If you’re like me, when you sign up for
something, you’re in it for the long haul. You don’t give 50% or
75%…you give 110%. As communicators and public relations professionals,
this is the “Type A” coming out in us!
Since I had experience judging
statewide health care awards, volunteering to judge the coveted Blue
Pencil/Gold Screen (BP/GS) awards was natural for me. Now, I’m the chair of the
entire awards ceremony! However, even if you have never judged anything
on any scale, even a pet show, we will help you be successful and the rewards
are phenomenal!
Think of all the ideas you can steal..ahem…I
mean…borrow…or use…or plaguerize. I use the philosophy
“copying is the best form of flattery.” Then, there is just the
plain glory of being a recognized as a judge.
Okay…maybe your name isn’t in
neon lights. Yet, you have the opportunity to influence and teach.
Isn’t that what we love? We want someone to learn from us.
So, my question for you is this: Do you have a talent you would like to
share to help others learn? If so, please consider judging the BP/GS
awards. And, to get a taste for what it involves, join us for the
“How to Submit A Winning Entry” teleconference on Wednesday, November
14 at 2 p.m. EST, 1 p.m. CST, 11 a.m., PST.
