The Quigley Awards Rules
■ I A Silver Grand Awards Plaque and «* a Bronze Grand Awards Plaque are awarded annually to the two theatre managers or theatre publicity men whose exploitation and promotion campaigns are adjudged best throughout the year. Rnalists for Grand Awards honors shall qualify by gaining special recognition in the Quarterly Competitions.
V
Every three months, a committee of judges will appraise the campaigns submitted by contestants during the preceding quarter period and select one showman to receive a Silver desk Plaque for outstanding achievement. The next seven best will receive a Scroll of Honor. Citations of Merit will be awarded to other theatremen whose work is outstanding. V
Consistency of effort is of paramount importance. One-shot campaigns are not eligible for Awards, which are made on the premise of sustained and continued effort.
V
Single ideas or promotions are acceptable only when the entrant has been a consistent contributor.
v
No fancy entries are necessary. Costly and time-wasting "gingerbread' decorations are not encouraged. Showmanship only counts.
V
In addition to exploitation on feature pictures, entries may be made on short subjects, serials, stage shows, or institutional and civic promotions.
V
Evidence proving authenticity of each entry should be submitted, such as photos, tear-sheets, programs, heralds, etc.
V
The Quigley Awards makes no distinction for size of theatre, community or the availability of pictures. The Judges make full allowance for individual showmanship displayed by comparing budgets, newspaper facilities and assistance from distributing companies. Everyone starts from scratch and has equal opportunity.
V
In addition to the Awards mentioned, special Certificates of Merit will be awarded quarterly and annually to showmen from outside the United States and Canada. The campaigns submitted by theatremen from abroad, however, shall not be excluded from consideration in the regular competitions. .
