President's message
It's Not Too Late to Enter!
Publisher's Clearing House made the phrase famous: "You can't win if you don't
enter!" That's true for the 2003 BCA Wilmer C. Fields Awards
Competition. How can you expect to win if you don't take time to enter?
For me, the awards competition has always been the highlight of our annual
workshop. Not because of the awards, but because of the presentations. It's one
of the few times each year that I get to see the work of Baptist communications
colleagues. Back
