Attention Ozarks Area Nonprofit Organizations:

Each year, as part of its advertising awards program, AAF of the Ozarks recognizes the best local nonprofit advertising/PSA campaign with the Jane Meyer Award.

Jane Meyer was a broadcast pioneer who served as President/General Manager of KTXR Radio from 1964 until her death in 2002.  Throughout her long career, Jane was involved not only in media, but in making Springfield a better community.

We invite your organization to submit an advertising campaign to compete for this prestigious award given in Jane Meyer’s memory.

To be eligible, your campaign must have been:

• Created and disseminated during 2010
• Produced with little or no actual budget
• Designed to raise awareness of health, education or quality of life issues affecting our community and/or to motivate the audience to take action (such as donating, volunteering or attending an event)

To enter, you’ll need to submit the following items:

• A brief overview of the campaign’s goals, the communication pieces involved, how the work was produced with little or no budget, and the results achieved
• Samples of the television, radio, print, outdoor and/or web-based advertising, as well as collateral materials (such brochures or direct mail pieces) that supported the campaign.  Be aware that entries will not be returned.  If an item is your only copy, please let us know when it’s submitted.

Accepted formats of entry materials:

• Please submit TV ads on VHS or DVD; radio ads on CD; actual copies of print materials; photos of billboards, signage and large displays; URLs of web sites and online materials (such as YouTube videos and downloadable newsletters).
• Your contact information

There is no cost to enter.

Entries must be received by 4:30 p.m. Friday, December 10th. Deliver or mail your entries to: Christa Clemenson c/o KOLR-10, 2650 E. Division, Springfield, MO 65803

Three finalists will be invited to present their campaigns at a special luncheon on January 12, 2011, at University Plaza in Springfield. This program will honor all area nonprofit organizations and service agencies, as well as the media, creative and production companies who support their efforts.  Following the three campaign presentations, the audience of AAF members and guests will vote to select the winner of this year’s Jane Meyer Award.

We hope that your organization will enter a public awareness or promotional campaign in this year’s Jane Meyer Award competition.  Thanks for everything you do to make Springfield and the Ozarks a better place!

Sincerely,

Linda Palmisano, AAF of the Ozarks Program Chair
