The Christmas and Holiday spirit was with the Treasure Coast Chapter of FPRA during the Ultimate Holiday Mixer last week. Thanks to all who attended ~ it was so much fun to share the season with our friends and colleagues from the Treasure Coast AdFed and the Association of Fundraising Professionals! A wonderful time was had by all and we collected over $350 for the Treasure Coast Food Bank. The Port St. Lucie Civic Center was a beautiful venue, the food was fabulous and the specialty drinks (see photo!) were full of holiday fun! A special thank you to Bryan Beaty, Judy Cruz and Robin Delgado for their efforts in organizing this fantastic event!
Twenty-five tips for Image Awards
Last week, I introduced the “25 tips for Image Awards” sent in by Image Awards Committee member Adrienne Moore, APR, CPRC. Here are tips number 2 & 3:
Now that you’ve reviewed your 2008 projects and selected the entry category, it’s time to begin thinking about the next steps in preparing an Image Award entry.
2. Two-Page Summary: This is the primary narrative needed to explain the project, its objectives, its action plan, and its evaluation. Start thinking how you developed the project, what your objectives were and what tactics you coordinated to get it completed. Then review the results or evaluation of how well the project worked.
The final step in the summary is the budget, which has new requirements this year. Those will be spelled out in later Image Award “tips.”
3. Format of the Two-Page Summary: Your summary can ONLY be two pages and should be on 8 ½ by 11 paper, one inch margins all around, double spaced. It should be typed in a WORD document, Times New Roman font and a minimum of 10 point type. The topics to be discussed should be identified in the narrative: Research, Objectives, Implementation, Evaluation and Budget.
Next week, we’ll begin to review the individual topics in the two-page summary. Remember, the judges place 70% of the scoring on the two-page summary. If your summary is more than two pages, the extra pages will be removed from the entry, which means the entry will be missing one or more of the topics. The judges can disqualify your entry for not meeting these specifications.
