Think you're qualified to be an SND judge?

Or know someone who is?

Here's your chance to be involved with the annual Best of Newspaper Design competition. The Society is looking for nominations for future judges, and they DO NOT necessarily have to be an SND member or work in newspapers to be qualified.
If you'd like to nominate yourself or someone you know, please send an e-mail to Susan Santoro at the SND office with this information:

NAME
AFFILIATION
WORK TITLE
MAILING ADDRESS
TELEPHONE NUMBER
E-MAIL ADDRESS
NATIONALITY

And, for each nomination, please include a few sentences about the person to help determine which areas the person might judge.


OTHER COMPETITIONS NEWS:

The deadline for book cover entries is Nov. 27, so hurry if you'd like for your concept to be considered. (Not only will your work be on the SND 29 cover, but there's also a prize.)

OTHER DEADLINES:

The call for entries will be sent out around Thanksgiving, and the entries are due in Syracuse on or before Wednesday, Jan. 16.
