Give and Grow Program - Deadline August 16

The Give and Grow Program is designed to benefit local charities and non-profit organizations by giving them what they need most - a way to get their message out. The Journal News will be working in conjunction with the ACW on the judging process.

Here's the opportunity to show off your creative talents, reach out to the community, help deserving organizations and . . . pay it forward!

• Pick an organization that you, as a company, want to represent.
• Design a 1/2 page ad [10” x 10”] that best represents what that organization is about and what they need.
• Between September and November 2010, The Journal News will run all ads submitted on a pro-bono basis at various times throughout the period.
• At the bottom of the ad, your agency will be recognized as one of our Give and Grow partners, and you’ll receive credit for the creative, giving your business free exposure.
• In December 2010, a panel of independent judges will evaluate the ads and one Grand Prize and two runners up will be chosen.
• All agencies who participate in Give and Grow will be invited to attend a gala awards ceremony in January, 2011 at a location to be announced later this year.
• Limited to the first 20 agencies to sign up with their beneficiary.

DEADLINE:
• All ads must be submitted to The Journal News by August 16, 2010.
• All ads must be submitted electronically in hi-res pdf format to: Chris Gaughan: cgaughan@lohud.com.
