[SOA] Call for Poster Image Submissions for 2024 Ohio Archives Month Poster - April 5 deadline

[Natalie Fritz]

For this year’s annual Society of Ohio Archivists’ October Archives Month,
the theme will be   *“O-H-I-Olympics: Competitors from the Buckeye State.”*
In conjunction with the 2024 summer Olympics, we want to highlight Ohio
connections to olympic competitions.

We are looking for archival images not only related to the summer and
winter international Olympic Games, but also those connected to the
Paralympic Games and to the Special Olympics. These can be images connected
with people who competed in the games, even if they *didn’t* bring home the
gold (or any medal)! We’re also looking for images connected to trainers,
coaches, and spectators. If your institution has archival images with an
intriguing backstory, please submit them for a chance to be featured in the
poster this year.

We are hoping to receive submissions from across the state of Ohio. *If
interested in participating, please submit your related images to the
Advocacy and Outreach Committee at archivesaoohio at gmail.com
<archivesaoohio at gmail.com> by Friday, April 5, 2024.*

*Institutions or individuals can submit a maximum of three (3) images.*
Please ensure that the image quality is a minimum of 300 dpi; higher
quality is encouraged. With your submission, please include a description
of the image that explains its importance AND a brief one sentence caption
that can be used on the poster if the image is selected.

*SOA members will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite entries
between Monday, April 8 and Friday, April 26, 2024.* Entrants do NOT need
to be members to submit images. If you know of organizations with archival
materials that would fit with this year’s theme, please share this
information with them!

We look forward to your participation!

Thank You,

Society of Ohio Archivists Advocacy and Outreach Committee
