Volume 26, Issue 5 February 2005
The National ACT Web site has been restructured and redesigned to make it easier for members to get information. A Google search bar and quick access navigation bar has been added to expedite the search for information.

The site is still a work-in-progress so report issues to the National Editor, Katie Chodil. The new internship directory and job postings will be updated as we expect to receive them throughout February.

Entries for the National Critique and Contest are due on March 18. Several categories, including all writing division entries, Web design, online publications, and multimedia productions, are to be submitted via e-mail to NationalACT@gmail.com. Entries that are to be mailed must be received by the deadline, not post-marked.
The Forrest Bassford Student Award recognizes outstanding agricultural communications students. Applications must be post-marked by Feb. 15. Livestock Publications Council awards one student a $1500 scholarship and $500 travel scholarship to attend their convention in Milwaukee. Up to three $750 travel scholarships are also awarded.
The Washington County Fair got things started with a bang. Last year was the first time for the chapter to have a pressroom. This year the fair board had a very appealing proposition for the chapter. Serving as photojournalists, our members were sent out to shoot creative and action shots of various fair events throughout the week. Not only did our chapter receive excellent exposure and experience, the project turned out to be a rewarding fundraiser. [full story]
