ENTRY DEADLINE:
June 1, 2008. Winners will be notified prior to the NETA Conference
pre-registration deadline.
ENTRY FEE: $50 per entry.
Check or purchase order enclosed with the
entry form (NETA will invoice)
or MasterCard/VISA (signed form must be faxed

ENTRY MATERIALS:
Each entry must contain TWO identical sets of clearly
labeled materials.
Each set
includes a completed entry form,
a brief
narrative describing the project (no more than two pages),
and
a budget summary
of cash, "in-kind," and underwritten
expenses.
HOW
TO SEND ENTRY MATERIALS:
Each entry must consist of TWO complete sets of materials,
clearly labeled, and individually packaged in
sealed shipping
envelopes
(Please do not use fiber-fill envelopes. The fibrous
material makes videotapes un-playable).
Each set must include a completed entry form,
narrative, and budget summary; both individually packaged
sets may be sent in one box.
Please do not mount posters or printed material.
Mark video
and audio media as mono or stereo; label media with program title,
station, recording length,
and award category.
All programs
and broadcast promos must be in DVD or VHS format for judging.
(DVD is preferred.)
Unlabeled media will be disqualified.
Winning entries will be incorporated into the
NETA RoadShow,
a portable professional development kit, which
is made available
to all public television stations for in-house use. Entries
will not be returned.
MAIL
OR SHIP AWARD ENTRIES TO:
NETA Awards
939 South Stadium Road
Columbia, SC 29201
Entry deadline: June 1, 2008.
NETA will not be responsible for entries lost, delayed, or
damaged in shipping.
JUDGING:
The competition is divided into two levels based on the most
recent NFFS reports. Competing stations are
sorted at the
$5 million mark. NETA will place entries into the appropriate
level for judging, and a winner will
be selected at each level
in every category only at the judges discretion. (In
other words, no one wins
by default.)
Entries
are judged on creativity, originality, effectiveness, and
overall excellence.
At the judges discretion, "Best of Show" or
other special awards may be designated for entries that merit
special recognition.
