Here it is folks, the million dollar question!
Anonymous asks:
Hi! I have a question about the feature section design category. If the feature section is weekly, it's obviously not printed on consecutive dates. We have other feature sections that print in between. So would I submit two consecutive, albeit different, sections or the two feature sections that printed a week apart?
Dear Anonymous,
The simple answer is that any two sections that are entered must be on consecutive publication days, not consecutive specific sections.
This has been a hot button issue between the committee that administers the contest and the board of directors for some time now. I understand why some folks think that the consecutive sections that should be submitted would be two of the same section-for example, if you have a food section every Wednesday you might want to enter two food sections in a row. However, the spirit of this category and the reason behind asking for two consecutive dates, is to show your your papers' excellence in all of the feature sections that you publish, not just one.
I hope this answers your question. Let us know if you have any others!

On a related note: What if we don't have feature sections that print on consecutive dates. For example, we have one that prints on Thursdays and one on Sundays with no feature/special sections on the days between. Would those be considered a valid entry?
They certainly would!
