And in the "What Did I Just Set Myself Up For?" Category ... I have volunteered (I know, right?) to help out on a Women Writing the West contest committee. I'll admit, I was thinking we'd have a whole heap of people on this thing --- there are six of us.
The president (of the group, not just the committee) wants us to try to hold a contest THIS YEAR, not next, as I'd assumed. So we're scrambling trying to come up with press releases, a website, logos & images, prize certificates, etc. We also need to screen the entries before the judges see them, so that's going to be a chore in itself.
So far, I've written the press release & am working on wordage for the website. We have a website creator working on that, as well as a designer who's coming up with the images for us. We'll get everything set up, then create a poster the teachers can print out for their school cork boards - with a QR code for the kids to scan linking to our website coz you know they're not going to copy down a website URL from a poster!
I think I might have to create a new gmail account just for this thing, since I've been getting so much email back & forth. I hate to think what it's going to be like once the entries start coming in (yes, I volunteered to be a screener, too ... maybe I need my head examined).
