Contest isn’t only chance for recognition, showcasing of work: The Winter Convention offers three ways for Kentucky newspaper people to be recognized for their work or have their work showcased. The Lewis E. Owens Award, presented annually by the Lexington Herald-Leader, recognizes outstanding community service by a Kentucky newspaper person or staff. The KPA Photo Exhibit is a chance for Kentucky photographers to display their work. Photos taken during the previous calendar year by newspaper photographers in the the state are displayed during the Trade Show. The exhibit is also available for local use, at public libraries for example, after the convention ends Jan. 25. The KPA Directory Cover is another chance for photographers to showcase their best work. Each year, we select one four-color photograph from a photographer at a member newspaper and publish that on the front cover of the directory with appropriate credit given inside the directory. Lewis E. Owens Award The Lewis E. Owens Award was originally established in memory of Edwards M. Templin, promotion director of the Lexington Herald-Leader and president-elect of the Kentucky Press Association when he died in 1967. It was later renamed to honor and memorialize long-time Herald-Leader publisher Lewis Owens for his many years of service to community and service organizations and to Kentucky newspaper's industry. Owens died in 1998 after battling ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Nominations are now being accepted for the 2001 Lewis Owens Community Service Award. Nominations are to be in the form of a letter and should include information on the community services the individual has been involved with. The award will be presented in January at our 2002 Kentucky Press Association Winter Convention at the Marriott Resort in Lexington. The deadline for nominations is Tuesday, Nov. 30. Nominations should be mailed by Nov. 26 to: Tom Caudill, Lexington Herald-Leader, 100 Midland Avenue, Lexington, KY 40508. Photo Exhibit Kentucky is known for having some of the best newspaper photographers in the country and this is our way of displaying the work of those photographers. This is not a contest and most all photos are used in the exhibit, depending on space available. Photos may be in color or black and white; should be no larger than 11 x 14; and should be mounted, preferably on black poster board. The photo should be affixed to the poster board along with the name of the newspaper and the photographer's name and a cutline, if appropriate. These do NOT have to be photographs that were published in the newspaper. The deadline for sending photos for the KPA Photo Exhibit is Dec. 15. If your newspaper would be interested in displaying this exhibit after the convention, please contact Sue Cammack at (800) 264-5721. Please indicate on a cover memo that the photographs are being submitted for use in the KPA Photo Exhibit. 2002 Directory Cover What better way to show a photographer's talent than on the front cover of the KPA Yearbook and Directory? Any photograph depicting life in Kentucky or a recent event in Kentucky is considered and the photo does not have to have been published in a newspaper to be used on the directory's cover. The deadline for submitting a four-color photograph for the front cover is Nov. 15. The photographer whose photo is selected will then be notified and asked to send KPA a four-color separation of the photograph by Dec. 1, 2001. Please indicate on a cover memo that the photo is being sent to consider for the front cover of the KPA Yearbook and Directory, and include the newspaper and the photographer's name. Please mail your Photo Exhibit pictures and 2002 Yearbook and Directory front cover photographs to: KPA, 101 Consumer Lane, Frankfort, Ky. 40601.
