Associated Press Sports Editors needs judges for the upcoming digital contest. The contest will be judged in four categories from May 15 to Dec. 31. During that period, there will be two separate mandatory two-week windows (chosen randomly), during which judges will be required to look at every website at least once. Judges will also be allowed to look at websites at their leisure during the rest of the year. A top 10 and honorable mentions in each category will be revealed at the start of the Winter Conference in 2016. If you are interested in judging, please contact Dana Sulonen, APSE interim second vice president, at apsecontest@gmail.com.
Some judges may have already volunteered with Todd Adams earlier in the year. However, due to extenuating circumstances, we are starting from zero on the 2016 contest. Therefore, if you would like to judge, please email Dana at the address above.
Please make sure to indicate the news organization where you currently work and what category that organization falls in. (NOTE: Your category is determined by average daily circulation for news organizations with a daily print product or by unique monthly visitors for news organizations which do not have a daily print product.) Here are the categories: Category A: Over 175,000/more than 2 million unique monthly visitors Category B: 75,001 to 175,000/from 750,001 to 1.999 million unique monthly visitors Category C: 30,000 to 75,000/from 250,000 to 750,000 unique monthly visitors Category D: Under 30,000/less than 250,000 unique monthly visitors Judges also need to include their work and cell phone numbers.
