Entry Checklist

Before submitting your entries, have all necessary materials on hand.

Before starting, review the Publication Categories so you know which one each of your publications belongs to. Review each Entry Category for its requirements.

To successfully complete your online entry, you will need the following information and materials at hand:

► A copy of each entry to provide you with the exact publication title, article title, issue date, and other information to include in the entry form.

► A representative PDF for each of your entries. This image may be used in the PowerPoint presentation at the Awards Gala.

► All PDFs required by your entry categories should meet entry requirements. These should generally follow an 8.5" x 11"  format.

► An editorial profile for each publication that has an entry. This must include a brief description of the publication's editorial goals or mission as well as a brief demographic profile of the publication's readership.

► Your company's payment information. If you’re using a credit card, you’ll need the card owner name, account number, expiration date, and security code. Entry fees are $50 per entry for MMPA members and $110 per entry for nonmembers. The submission program will provide you with the total amount due.

►  If you're submitting entries that require physical materials:

• Prepare a separate envelope for each entry.

• Clearly label each envelope with the entry category and the entry number generated when you complete the online entry process.

• Put all envelopes into one package and mail to:

All physical materials must be postmarked by July 10, 2012.
