Communications competition open to entries from print media

Friday April 6th 2018

This year’s Church of Ireland Communications Competition will focus on print media only, and is now open for entries.

In a change from previous years, the Central Communications Board, which runs the competition, has decided to alternate between print and websites/digital media from this year onwards, with print entries invited this year.

The competition is open to Church of Ireland parishes, dioceses and affiliated organisations, and entries are invited in the following categories:

  • Diocesan Magazine
  • Parish Magazine/Newsletter
  • Church of Ireland affiliated organisation Magazine/Newsletter

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 April 27.  Winners will be announced at the General Synod taking place in the Armagh City Hotel from May 10-12.

CCB Chairman, the Most Rev Pat Storey, said: “Communication can be hard work but it is incredibly worthwhile in communicating the Christian faith and building up the life of the Church of Ireland. 

“I encourage you to send in your best work and we are looking forward to seeing how the different parts of our Church present themselves to the wider world.”

Please obtain an entry form for the competition from Peter Cheney, Church of Ireland Press Office (by email: press@ireland.anglican.org or phone: from NI 028 9082 8882, from RoI 048 9082 8882).

One recent copy must be sent in hard copy with entry form to Peter Cheney, Press Office, Church of Ireland House, 61-67 Donegall Street, Belfast, BT1 2QH, Northern Ireland by Friday April 27.
