‘Connor Connections’ highly commended in communications competition

Monday May 14th 2018

Archdeacon of Belfast, the Ven George Davison, receives a highly commended award for ‘Connor Connections’ from the Most Rev Pat Storey, Bishop of Meath and Kildare and Chairman of the Central Communications Board.

The diocesan magazine ‘Connor Connections’ has been highly commended in the Church of Ireland Central Communications Board’s 2018 Communications Competition.

This year’s competition invited entries of newsletters and magazines published by parishes, dioceses and church organisations. The results were announced on Saturday May 12 at General Synod by the Most Rev Pat Storey, Bishop of Meath and Kildare and Chairman of the Central Communications Board.

The competition was run by the Church of Ireland Press Office but externally and professionally judged. Prizes were sponsored by Ecclesiastical Insurance.

There was praise for all the entrants for their efforts in communicating within their own contexts in each category, with convincing evidence of communication work of a high standard across the island. Constructive feedback is available for all entrants – contact the Church of Ireland Press Office.

Connor Connections was commended for its ‘Varied content with in–depth features, for example on chaplaincy posts. Well laid out with a good use of headings to break up page spreads.’
