Society for Technical Communications : Phoenix Chapter

The 2008 Southwest Regional PAO Competitions are underway!

The Call for Entries for this year’s local competitions has been issued. Entries are being solicited for all three competitions: Publications, Art, and Online.

The entry forms, submittal instructions, and detailed information on this year’s competitions are now available on our website.

These competitions are open to all technical communication professionals; you do not have to be a member of STC to participate. Competitions have two tiers: local (chapter) and international (Society-wide) level. An entry must win an award of Distinguished Technical Communication at the local level to qualify for submission to STC’s international competition. Many, but not all chapters hold professional competitions in the fall.

The managers of this year’s competitions are Roberta Davidson and Debra Duane. For more information, contact pao@stc-phoenix.com. Information on the competitions is also available from the STC International website.

Next year’s science fair will be quite different from years past. It will be the Arizona Science Fair (AzSEF), and it will combine the Central Arizona Science Fair, Northern Arizona Science Fair, and the Arizona-American Indian Science and Engineering Fair into one large event – up to 1,000 entries are expected!

We have several volunteers (thank you all), but we need more! This is just a one-day commitment, won’t you please join us on Mar. 20th?
