Tuesday March 27th 2012

The Central Communications Board’s annual Magazine, Website and Social Media Competition 2012 is now open.

Entries within each category detailed below are invited from Church of Ireland parishes, dioceses and associated organisations as well as individuals whose blogging or social networking activity clearly relate to Church activity/outreach/witness.

Launching this year’s competition, CCB Chairman, the Rt Rev Trevor Williams, said: “The Church can’t exist without communication, and it can’t thrive without good communication. So let’s celebrate those who work hard to tell the Good News in some shape or form. Their commitment shouldn’t go unacknowledged.’
