Associated Press Sports Editors in Minneapolis during June 2025.

Hello, everyone:

I hope you all had a chance to enjoy some quality holiday time with friends and family, and that you’re ready to check some important items off your APSE to-do list:

Membership dues, contest

Thanks to those who have renewed their membership or joined for the first time. We really appreciate it. If you’ve paid your APSE dues, your contest entry can be found here. All entries are due by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 13.

Send any contest questions to contest chair Perryn Keys at perrynkeys@gmail.com.

For those who haven’t paid dues, there’s still time! You can renew or join here. To enter the contest, you must pay your dues before the entry deadline.

Send any membership/dues questions to executive director Bill Eichenberger at billapse707@gmail.com.

Contest judging

Remote contest judging will begin soon after the entry deadline, and in-person judging will follow during the 2026 Winter Conference, which will be held Feb. 22-26 at the South Point Hotel and Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

You can reserve your room here.

To RSVP for in-person or remote judging, please fill out this form.

2026 Summer Conference

Do you have ideas for panels, workshops and speakers during the 2026 Summer Conference in the Washington, D.C., area? Submit them here.

We’re looking for as many ideas as possible so we can begin planning while we’re in Las Vegas. Don’t be shy if you have a thought, and the sooner you submit it the better.

And if you just have a summer conference question or want to offer help, email me at apsepresident@gmail.com.

Thanks, and I hope you all get 2026 off to a great start!

-Paul
