TYR / USMS Newsletter of the Year Submissions

Greetings, Does your Masters swimming organization produce an outstanding newsletter? If so, please consider submitting it for the TYR / USMS Newsletter of the Year Award. This award is presented annually to the most outstanding Masters swimming newsletter. For the second year, the Newsletter of the Year award is generously sponsored by TYR. Here's what to do: 1) Send newsletters produced by any Masters swimming organization. Newsletters produced during the period from September, 2001, to June, 2002 will be evaluated. 2) Indicate the name of the newsletter, the name and location of the Masters swimming organization producing the newsletter, the name of the editor(s), and also how often the newsletter is published each year. 3) If you would like your submission returned following the evaluation, please enclose a self-addressed envelope with postage. Submissions will not otherwise be returned. 4) Indicate online availability of the newsletter, if applicable. 5) Postmark by July 1st, 2002. 6) Mail newsletters to: Bill Volckening, 1220 NW 119th Place, Portland, Oregon, 97229. Once the newsletters are collected, a panel of experts will evaluate the newsletters, select finalists and select the winner. Newsletters are evaluated for content, creativity, presentation and production value, range of appeal, and consistency. The award will be presented during the first week of September at the annual convention in Dallas, Texas. Thank-you, and good luck! Bill Volckening USMS Editor SWIM Magazine
