GENERAL RULES
The following general rules govern all the AGLOW
Awards-In-Craft competitions that consist of individ-
ual contests for newspaper writing, magazine writing,
book writing, photography, broadcast (TV, radio) and
electronic media (ebook, blog posts and web communi-
cations).
1. Failure to adhere to all general rules of the competi-
tion and specific rules for each division will result in
the entry being disqualified.
2. Only members in good standing are eligible.
3. Submissions to all contests must be received by
the respective Contest Coordinator for each
division by July 1, 2017. Late entries will be
disqualified.
include a stamped, self-addressed envelope with suffi-
cient postage. Alternatively, entries may be picked up
in person at the Annual Conference. Entries not picked
up after the conference will be discarded. AGLOW,
and any of its agents, will use reasonable and prudent
care in handling all submissions, but will not assume
responsibility for any loss or damage beyond their
control.
9. All entries to one contest coordinator may be
submitted in one package or email. Please include a
“Contents Letter” listing all the entries submitted,
and separate entries in each category, individually,
within the package or email. (An entrant may put an
entry into the magazine/fishing and magazine/hunting
categories in the same mailer, but each entry should be
sealed in separate envelopes within the mailer.)
10. All decisions of judges are final.
11. Winners will be announced during the Awards-
In-Craft Ceremony at the Annual Conference. The
winning entry in each category will receive a certificate
and/or plaque and a cash prize of $75. The second place
award winner will receive a certificate and $50. Third-
Place will receive a certificate and $25. If any category
does not have a sponsor, only plaques or certificates
will be awarded. If insufficient entries are received in
any particular division category, at the judges’ discre-
tion, such category may not be judged and no awards
may be presented.
4. Except for the book division, each contest division is
divided into specific categories (i.e. newspaper/fishing,
magazine/travel, etc.). Entries are limited to two (2) per
category. 12. AGLOW has a one-time right to publish any win-
ning written article or photograph in Horizons, unless
the member sends a letter denying this right to the
Horizon’s editor.
5. All categories will be judged prior to the Annual
Conference and awards will be made at the Conference. 13. A submission may be entered in ONE category only.
For example: members may NOT submit a television
episode in both the Hunting AND Open category. En-
tries submitted in two categories will result in disquali-
fication of BOTH entries.
6. Entries must have been published or aired between
July 15, 2016 and July 1, 2017.
