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.
