Annual Communications Competition open for entries!
The Central Communications Board’s annual Magazine, Website and Social Media Competition is now open and invites entries within each category (details below) from Church of Ireland parishes, dioceses and associated organisations as well as individuals whose social media activity clearly relates to Church activity, outreach or witness.
Quality of presentation, strength of content and outreach potential are once again to be the standards of excellence against which entries will be judged.
The closing date is Friday 11 April 2014. Winners will be announced at the General Synod in Christ Church Cathedral Dublin, 8–10 May 2014.
CCB Chairman, the Rt Revd Trevor Williams, says: “Progress is only possible with good communication. Without it confusion and disintegration are inevitable. As a Church, those who assist our communications assist us in living as the Body of Christ. Communications is a ministry we value and want to develop.
“This competition is more than finding winners. The intention of this competition is to learn from one another, to encourage more people to get involved, and to express our gratitude to all who serve the Church so faithfully in the ministry of communication. Be part of the Church of Ireland Communication community, and send in your entry.”
