College Communications Contest Rules

Students enrolled in two-year or four-year colleges or universities in North Dakota or at Minnesota State University Moorhead or Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn., are eligible to enter the NDPC college communications contest. The deadline for the contest is March 24, 2008. Entry fees are $5 per individual and $1.50 per entry. Entries should be mailed to Jeanine Noce, Corporate Communications, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Dakota,
4510 13th Ave. S., Fargo, ND 58121.

Eligibility
Any student enrolled in at least a two-year college or university in North Dakota, or at Minnesota State University Moorhead or Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn., is eligible to enter the contest.

Awards
Contest winners will be recognized during the 2008 NDPC state conference held Saturday, April 26, at the UND School of Medicine in Grand Forks. Winners will be notified by mail or e-mail in April. First, second and third
place awards, and up to two honorable mentions, may be presented in each category. Judges are directed to make awards only if merited. All judges’ decisions are final.

Entry Requirements
All entries must have been published or produced between March 2, 2007, and March 1, 2008. Eligible material is not limited to work produced for college or university organizations.

An individual may submit only one entry in each category. No entry may be submitted in more than one category. Please read contest classifications carefully. Entries not in the correct category or properly labeled will be disqualified.

Submitting Entries
Read the requirements for each category carefully. Some require supporting material. Reproduce as many entry forms as needed. Securely fasten a completed form and any necessary supporting documents to each entry (do not staple). Tear sheets should be clearly marked to indicate item to be judged.
Mail all entries in one large envelope.

Video entries must include one 8 1/2- inch by 11-inch entry form inserted into the video case with each entry. Tapes or disks also must be clearly marked on the outside with category, entrant’s name, adviser’s name and affiliated college.

Contest Entry Fee
There is a $5 entry fee for each individual (not school) to enter the contest, plus $1.50 for each entry. For example, one entry will cost $6.50, two entries $8 and three entries $9.50. Contestants who collaborate on material may enter together for a single entry fee. Winners will receive duplicate award certificates.

Although advisers/organizations are not required to send one check for their group of entries, doing so is extremely helpful. Please include a list of all entrants and payments made on their behalf.

Make checks payable to NDPC (do not send cash).

All entries must be postmarked no later than Monday, March 24, 2008.
