Good article Mrs. H, and well done to Nick/CompassSport for offering prizes *
* I hope they're not the ones rejected at 20 successive Kent Night Cup events.
Prizes for Publicity

Re: Prizes for Publicity
....and I already have my first claimant. The prizes are new and sitting on my hall floor - there are a thousand of them and they are very appropriate and useful. You can win as many as articles you get published - so get in touch with your scans/cuttings etc
I really think we can make a difference this way

Re: Prizes for Publicity
Do articles on non-orienteering websites merit a prize?
A link to this article arrived in my inbox this morning. http://www.readyforten.com/users/RFTros ... g-for-kids
I don't know who wrote it but a good bit of targetted publicity. A pity someone (the website editor rather than the author?) seems to have picked the non-orienteering picture to go with the article.

Re: Prizes for Publicity
Sean - have you read my article? Publicity in non-orienteering publications of any description is the whole point
It's more about raising the public's general perception of orienteering than just advertising events. I know I achieved this at least for a while in Malvern and I think we can do it nationally.
The more accustomed people are to hearing, reading and seeing things about orienteering, the more accepting they are of the idea and the more likely they are to have a go.....and of all the people who have a go just a few might actually like it so much they keep on doing it.
But first of all we need to blanket the non-orienteering population with a steady drip feed of orienteering related information - no matter how tenuous as in the example I cited.
Tell me who posted the web page and the'll get a prize

Re: Prizes for Publicity
I interpreted "publication" as printed publication.
Looking at some of these examples, there's definately scope for orienteering articles in all sorts of magazines/websites. I've always thought there's great potential to market the sport in weightloss/healthy lifestyle magazines? People who take up orienteering in later years do seem to loose quite a bit of weight without having to drink illuminous shakes or go to weight watchers (which sounds like a terrible thing to do with your evenings). The O plan diet anyone? Club nights not weight loss therapy nights?
