Here are the instructions and entry forms for the 30th Annual IRMA Awards. It s a special year for both the awards and the conference, and we hope all members will enter. Over the past two years, IRMA s Awards Committee has worked hard to streamline the process and has made several changes to benefit members, including: increasing the number of judges for more diversity on the panel, which the committee believes has resulted in more magazines receiving awards reducing the number of tear sheets required in the Writing Categories and allowing photocopies to be submitted. This was in response to feedback from members who don t have enough magazines at the end of the year to supply so many tear sheets moving to a PDF entry format for some Design categories this year, in response to the same concern about insufficient tear sheets. We ll continue to work on your behalf to update the awards. Meanwhile, if you haven t entered the awards in the past, we hope these changes will encourage you to do so this year. Be sure to carefully read and follow the details of all instructions. Pay close attention to the category definitions to be sure you have selected material that fits. When judges decide that an entry doesn t fit the category, they score it as a zero. A zero from only one judge will prevent your magazine from winning an award. Please heed the deadline for entries: February 26, After the entries are shipped to the judges, additional entries cannot be accepted. Active member magazines in good standing (i.e. with all dues and fees paid up to and including 2010) are eligible to enter. Enclose payment for entry fees with your entries. Sorry, IRMA does not accept credit cards. NOTE: Please check your accounts payable records to make sure payments go to IRMA s new Vermont address.

Culture Feature A story that is directly concerned with social, ethical, and/or legal issues within the magazine s region. NOTE, The following basis of judging applies to all Writing categories. The Writing Categories are for text, not the elements of design. The elements a judge will consider are appropriateness to the category definition, writing style, content, overall impact and how well the article engages the interest of its intended reader. Judges will keep in mind that brevity does not denote insignificance, and bigger does not always mean better. An article may be long because of a lack of focus or lazy editing. Judges will also keep in mind that a small or insignificant subject no more ensures a minor article than a big or important subject guarantees a major one.
