As a student in public relations you tirelessly study and work developing a variety of different public relations campaigns, publications, media and materials. You push yourself to the limits under tight deadlines and with limited resources, receiving no special recognition for your efforts. The Zenith Awards are your chance to be recognized for your spectacular work.

  PRSSA Weekday Help Needed on Thursday, March 25 to judge Student Zenith Awards
   
  Would you like to take a half day off work, enjoy the company of colleagues and help out the next generation of PR practitioners?
   
  Hurrah! You're who UCO PRSSA is looking for. The 5 W's are: 1-5 p.m., Thursday, March 25, Communication Building Room 213 (or as designated), UCO Campus, Edmond. A parking pass and map will be sent to all judges. The "judging rooms" will abound with student entries, good fun and good eats! I don't have a count on the number of entries, but it's usually around 40.
   
  There are five categories: Public Relations Campaigns, Writing, Publications, Potpourri and Electronic Media. If we have 10 judges (two per category & perhaps three on campaigns), it would be SHORT work. Also, if you have expertise in Power Point and Web Design, your skills may come in very handy for the electronic media category.
   
  Contact Jill Kelsey, APR, at 974-5914 or jkelsey@ucok.edu if you can help.
   
  ... if we don't secure enough weekday judges, we'll move judging to Saturday, March 27.

  Jill Kelsey and the UCO PRSSA Chapter need Zenith judges for the statewide student PR competition, 1 - 5 p.m., Thursday, March 25. We'll meet in the UCO Communications Building, Room 212A, Edmond. A letter, map and parking pass will be sent to each judge. There will be food, soda/water, "freebie" and good spirits. Scoring forms are provided. The largest category is writing! News/feature stories are pretty brief, but with 20 writing entries, I'd like at least two-three judges devoted only to writing. There's only one electronic media entry. Campaigns take the longest and there are only three Campaigns, one of which is pretty brief. Publications is the second largest category. No category is nearly as large as "Writing." With six-eight judges, we could knock this out easily between 1 and 5. I have three judges "in the bag." God love 'em. Help!
   
  Thank you so much.
