Details
The Name the
NAPE 2014 PDI Theme is now open and will close Thursday, January 31,
2013, at 11:59 PM (EST). All contest entries must be posted to the
NAPE Facebook page. NAPE will not accept submissions via email or
through the Facebook message option. All contest entries posted to
the NAPE Facebook page will be collected by NAPE Research Assistant
Elizabeth Tran.
The PDI planning
committee will select the theme from the conference theme suggestions
posted to the NAPE Facebook page. In the event that contest
participants have submitted similar 2014 PDI theme suggestions, the
contest winner will be drawn randomly. The contest winner will
be responsible for arranging his or her own travel and paying hotel
fees. Should no appropriate theme be submitted for the 2014 PDI,
there will be no winner.
On Monday,
February 18, 2013, the contest winner will be formally notified, and
announcements will be made in the March NAPE Update, Pipeline Press,
and 2013 PDI communications. An official announcement will be made at
the 2013 PDI silent auction at the Double Tree Hotel, Crystal City,
Arlington, VA.
Best of luck to everyone who enters! NAPE looks
forward to hearing each of your great ideas!
