This is a message from your CWA
Contest Chair, Arden Moore
Sometimes, long-awaited good news can linger in the spam folder. That was the case when CWA President Marci Kladnik finally got the official confirmation that yes, indeed, Cornell University is once again sponsoring the Dr. Jim Richards Cornell Feline Health Center Veterinary Issues Special Award for the 2016 CWA Communications Contest. Marci reports: “Just got the great news that Cornell is renewing the Jim Richards award. I emailed him (Cornell official) again and got an immediate reply that some of my emails had gone into his spam folder and he had intended to get back to me weeks ago. No matter, it’s now on the table.”
Details about this Special Award: This award is presented to the highest-quality entry on the topic of technological advances, research, new medical developments, or innovations in feline veterinary medicine. Qualifying entries include single newspaper, magazine or newsletter articles; columns or series of articles (print or online); blogs, a website, single books or radio/television broadcasts, designed to educate the general cat-owning public about new developments. This special award consists of $500.
