COVER CONTEST (entry form) I need these turned in
to me (Jerry Engler) no later than Saturday, July 11. You can give them to me at
the meet or place them in my mailbox in the office. I'll put a
couple of recent programs in the office so you can get some ideas of
winning designs in the past. A $50 cash prize is awarded by the
League to the winning 11 and older design and the winning 10 and
under design.
CHAMPIONSHIP ADS (advertising flyer) These are also due
Saturday, July 11. Check out the past programs in the office to get
ideas of what people have done in the past. We use 2 pricing
options. This is often confusing---so I'll do my best to expain it.
OPTION 1: Personal messages. You simply want to place a message or
a photo in the program to cheer on your swimmers and their teammates.
We don't charge any mark-up for these messages---in other words, you
pay what we have to pay to the League. Full page cost is $20;
half-page is $10. We don't accept messages of less than one-half
page.
OPTION 2: Business ads. You want to place an ad for your
business, your friend's business, or any other business that wants to
reach approximately 1,000 East Bay families. We charge the
recommended league rate for business ads: $80 for a full page; $40
for half-page; $20 for a quarter page; $10 for a business card. Part
of the proceeds from business ads go directly to our team, as
explained in the attached flyer. Deadline to turn in Personal
Messages or Business ads is Saturday, July 11. Give them directly to
me, or place them in my box. The better quality your message or ad,
the better it will reproduce in the program. You may want to use
photo-quality paper. All photos will be reproduced in black and
white. If you are doing a half-page message, please reproduce it on
an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet and DO NOT CENTER IT.
