<pre>For this year’s annual Society of Ohio Archivists’ October Archives Month,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the theme will be *“O-H-I-Olympics: Competitors from the Buckeye State.”*<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>In conjunction with the 2024 summer Olympics, we want to highlight Ohio<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>connections to Olympic competitions.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>We are looking for archival images not only related to the summer and<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>winter international Olympic Games, but also those connected to the<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Paralympic Games and to the Special Olympics. These can be images connected<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>with people who competed in the games, even if they *didn’t* bring home the<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>gold (or any medal)! We’re also looking for images connected to trainers,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>coaches, and spectators. If you have photos of a local group that had an event that was themed to the Olympics, you can send that too. If your institution has archival images with an<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>intriguing backstory, please submit them for a chance to be featured in the<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>poster this year.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>We are hoping to receive submissions from across the state of Ohio. *If<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>interested in participating, please submit your related images to the<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Advocacy and Outreach Committee at <a href="https://lists.oplin.org/mailman/listinfo/ohioarchivists">archivesaoohio at gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><<a href="https://lists.oplin.org/mailman/listinfo/ohioarchivists">archivesaoohio at gmail.com</a>> by Friday, April 5, 2024.*<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>*Institutions or individuals can submit a maximum of three (3) images.*<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Please ensure that the image quality is a minimum of 300 dpi; higher<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>quality is encouraged. With your submission, please include a description<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>of the image that explains its importance AND a brief one sentence caption<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>that can be used on the poster if the image is selected.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>*SOA members will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite entries<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>between Monday, April 8 and Friday, April 26, 2024.* Entrants do NOT need<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>to be members to submit images. If you know of organizations with archival<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>materials that would fit with this year’s theme, please share this<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>information with them!<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>We look forward to your participation!<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
