Sweet Winning isn't everything, but a publications award can work magic on the morale of editors, designers, publishers, and advertisers. Awards confer credibility. Audience and publisher feel new appreciation for an award-winning publication.
Awards are uppers.
Here are some contests for you to enter. To encourage participation by libraries of all types and size, entry categories vary from year to year. A John Cotton Dana Award honors outstanding public relations programs. An organization may not enter if they are a unit of the American Library Association or The H.W. Wilson Company. Entries will not be accepted from institutions represented by John Cotton Dana judges, whether they be friends groups, foundations, staff associations, branch libraries, other.
