Excellence in Craft contests
Annually, OWAA’s Contest Committee administers the Excellence In Craft contests and awards program. OWAA media members may enter their best works from the previous year in the competition. Media-based contests are available with subject-based categories.
The judging for each category is conducted by an independent panel of judges who are experts in the category field they are judging. The winners of the competition are announced at a special event held during the annual conference. Certificates and cash prizes are awarded.
The entry process for the 2020 EIC begins Nov. 1, 2019 and is being managed by OWAA Supporting Group, Submittable. Go to https://owaa.submittable.com for more information.
