TWBW Award Criteria

Texas Women Bowling Writers offers various contest and awards each season. The participation of these various awards has become low, so we are going to try to spread the word of these awards so everyone in Texas has knowledge and can submit a deserving person. Listed below are the award and their criteria. Poster of the Year Award Posters submitted by any TWBA members will be judged in two categories: tournament promotion and local association activities. Associations may enter no more than one poster per year in each category. Any poster that has not previously received a TWBW award is eligible for consideration. Remember that the tournament promotion category may include entries about seniors, 500 or 600 Club, juniors, etc. Entries will be submitted to the News and Views committee outside the Fun Fair site by 6:00 PM on the evening before the TWBA annual meeting. Posters are judged on originality, appearance, organization, and identity/ clarity. Association posters that are part of Fun Fair booths are also eligible for competition. They will all be registered by the News and Views committee and judged before Fun Fair opens to the delegates. Writer of the Year This award is for the best bowling-related article published by a TWBW member between August 1, 1997 and July 31, 1998. Competition will include articles specifically submitted to Contests Chairman Ann Powell for consideration and postmarked no later than November 30, 1998. Also automatically considered are those articles printed in Across Texas Lanes outside of the Association Highlights section. Ann Powell ATL Award All TWBA Local Associations who had Association Highlights pieces printed during the 1997-98 bowling season are eligible for the ATL Award. These contributions are all routinely entered in the competition without any action by their writers. This award is presented to the local association whose news is covered; names of contributors to the piece will be listed on the award beneath that of the association. Ann Powell Wood Award for Excellence Any TWBW member may nominate prospects for the Wood Award for Excellence. The award is for professional media persons who perform an outstanding job of promoting bowling in the media. February 15, 1999 is the deadline for submitting nominations, which should be sent to TWBW president Syleta Halbert. Local Association Newsletter Award This award is open to all Texas WBA's whose newsletter editors belong to TWBW. At least two 1997-98-season issues with a distribution of at least 50 copies apiece must have been published to qualify for this award. Newsletter contents may include junior, senior, etc. information, not just that from the WBA. The best two issues should be selected by the association and two copies of each submitted by November 30, 1998 to Contest Chairman Ann Powell. Certificate of Appreciation Although the Certificate of Appreciation does not fall into the contest category, it is included here since it is an award presented by TWBW. Prospects are individuals or groups who have developed creative and effective bowling promotions or made noteworthy contributions to increasing public interest in bowling. Submit information on candidates to TWBW president Syleta Halbert at anytime. There is no deadline. Judging Poster of the Year entries are judged by a panel overseen by the News and Views committee. Vickie Bibby Writer of the Year, newsletter, and ATL entries are judged by a panel of "outside" judges. Wood Award and Certificate of Appreciation nominees are reviewed by TWBW's Board of Directors.
