This is a message from your 2016 CWA Contest Chair, Arden Moore.
Are you ready to be a winner? Great! It’s time to let the news about 2016 Cat Writers Communication Contest out of the bag.
What’s New: We are happy to announce TWO new Special Awards for 2016, bringing it to a record-setting 21 Special Awards to be available in this year’s contest. Here are the details on the first award:
The Barn Cats, Inc. Save-a-Feral Cat Award, sponsored by Barn Cats, Inc., is presented to the informative entry that best describes the plight of feral cats, or educates on the topics of TNR, feral cat relocation, humane and nonlethal colony management options. Entries will be judged for quality as well as the ability to persuade the reader. Qualified online or print entries include articles, blogs, features, columns, series of articles, websites, blogs, videos,. The award consists of a $500 and a commemorative item.
The details on the second award are not yet in, but I can tell you that it is being sponsored by the Catalyst Council and will have something to do with community involvement and cats. Stay tuned for the coming specifics.
