Publications Contests
CoSIDA sponsors a variety of media guide/publication contests and an annual writing contest for its members, with every CoSIDA member at every level having the opportunity to receive recognition for his/her work. It is no small honor to earn an award since the judging is done by news media/communications professionals who utilize those publications in their work.

CoSIDA Fred Stabley Sr. Writing Contest
The annual CoSIDA Fred Stabley Sr. Writing Contest recognizes all dues-paying members of CoSIDA for excellence in feature writing, historical features, administrator/coach profiles and event coverage writing. Entries will be judged on overall writing style, correct use of English, inventiveness, written presentation and the ease with which the read acquires the information.
Non-CoSIDA members who work in an athletic media relations office (graduate assistants, interns, student assistants, volunteers) may submit entries, provided each entry is sponsored by a dues-paying member of that office.
