Re: Showcase results

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for writing...  From talking with James and Mary, the current plan
is that the showcase results will be featured in the Q1 TAG.  Mary has
caught up on TAG, planning on publishing the Q4 issue within two weeks.  
Since the showcase itself has not been fully judged yet, we certainly
cannot make the advance publication deadlines for the Q4 TAG.  So we will
be majorly featuring the results in the following issue.

James and I talked about this a few weeks ago, and we both feel that it's
a good idea to feature the results in both magazines; not only is there
enough material to fill both, I think there is a possibility of taking
advantage of the different media.  

The only requirement is that the results must appear in TAG "first".  I
believe that Mary will be trying to get Q1 TAG out the door before she
leaves on the Amazon at the end of January, so it would seem like Q1 PAM
would be an appropriate place for this article?  What are the schedules
for the next two PAM's?

I wonder if an alternative would be to present a two page "announcement of
the announcement of the winners"?  Though the results themselves won't be
available to submit for publication November 30th, we might be able to
present some of the pictures and a pointer to the website for the lowdown.
As a mere listing of winners to me would seem wasted space in PAM, perhaps
this would be more interesting, and allow a "best-of-both-worlds?"

I will leave this to you and James to figure out, while I go off and make
sure the board is OK with such an idea (message cc'd to both).
