11:17 a.m., June 18, 2009----University of Delaware communications professionals in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment's Marine Public Education Office and the Office of Communications and Marketing won four first place awards -- and 12 awards overall -- in the 2009 communications contest sponsored by the National Federation of Press Women.
In addition to the first place awards, communications staff members took one second place award, four third place awards and three honorable mention awards.
Awards will be presented during the NFPW's Communications Conference to be held Sept. 10-12 in San Antonio.
“Recognition by the National Federation of Press Women attests to the exceptional quality of the work being done by a large number of communications professionals across the University of Delaware campus,” said David Brond, UD vice president for communications and marketing. “Effective communications concerning the University's initiatives, programs and accomplishments is key to enhancing our prominence, both nationally and internationally.”
First place awards were won by Marine Public Education staff members Tamara Beeson and Elizabeth Boyle for a Coast Day 2008 banner; by Boyle, Lisa Tossey, Ron Ohrel and Kimberly Doucette for a radio commercial or campaign for the “Sea Talk” public service announcements; and by Tossey, Beeson, Ohrel, Boyle and Trevor Metz for a one- to three-color brochure for Coast Day's “Coastal Solution Passport.”
In OCM, Tracey Bryant, Pam Donnelly and David Barczak won first place in individual achievement in print or broadcast for the “Extreme 2008: A Deep-Sea Adventure” multi-media production.
Boyle won a second place award for multiple news or feature press releases on one topic, about Coast Day, and also won a third place award for a news article written specifically for the Web, about the college's TIDE summer camp for high school students.
She shared a third place award with Ohrel and Beeson for a four-color brochure for the college.
OCM's Bryant took third place for a news or feature press release for a story on research about women and knee-replacement surgery and Kathy Wheatley, also of OCM, took third place for a single-sheet poster about the introduction of trayless dining in campus facilities.
Marine Public Education staff members took two honorable mention awards. Boyle, Tossey, Beeson and Doucette were recognized for writing for the Web for the online newsletter, At Sea, and Tossey and Beeson were cited for community or institutional relations for a college and Delaware Sea Grant desk calendar.
OCM's Sue Moncure won an honorable mention award for writing for the Web for a feature article about an anthropology class taught simultaneously to students at UD and in Malaysia.
