SABEW extends Best in Business deadline to Feb. 3

The Society of American Business Editors and Writers has extended its deadline for the Best in Business competition until Monday afternoon.

The new deadline is Feb. 3, 6 p.m. Eastern time for the competition, which is entirely conducted online.

Warren Watson, executive director, said this additional time will enable dozens of companies and individuals to comfortably enter their best work. The contest featured a number of new categories this year after adding some new wrinkles a year ago.

The competition includes a variety of new personal writing divisions (open to all), in addition to new social media and blogging categories.

For more information, contact Watson at 1-602-496-5186 or email watson@sabew.org.
