OPA is currently without an Adult Contest Chair, and is seeking a volunteer to hold this position for at least the fall 2016 contest.
The deadline for this contest will be pushed back to at least October 15th. If we are not able to find a contest chair by mid-August, the fall contest will be cancelled and we will try to find a contest chair for the spring contest.
The contest chair’s responsibilities include: recruiting judges for each contest category; receiving contest entries (which can come either to the OPA mailbox, whence they will be forwarded to the chair, or electronically via Submittable); forwarding contest entries to the judges; notifying winners of the judges’ decisions. A more detailed job description and step-by-step procedures are available: Please use this link to inquire.
If you’re willing to help out with OPA’s contest activities, we’d love to hear from you! Please use this link.
UPDATE: We have a contest chair! I’m very please to introduce Andrew Fersch, our chair for the Fall 2016 contest. Andrew will be recruiting judges, and we’ll announce them and open the contest as soon as we can. Thanks to all who volunteered!
