Church of Ireland 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/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 15 April 2016.
CCB Chairman, the Most Revd Pat Storey, says:
“Ways of communicating our faith and our Church, both old and new, are so important. It can be really hard work and time–consuming but so worthwhile! I encourage you to send in your best work and we are looking forward to seeing how different parishes and dioceses present themselves to the world.”
We very much hope for a strong showing from Down and Dromore. Please read the entry requirements and submit your publication!
