Dear Open Morris Member,

We’re delighted to announce the theme for the 2019 Sue Dyke Award – ‘Morris in our Local Community’.

In accordance with the wishes of Ken Dyke, Sue’s widower, this competition is aimed at our younger members to reflect Sue’s particular interest in ensuring a vibrant future for Morris. For 2019 the age limit has been lowered to 25 to encourage younger participants.

The competition is open to any individual who is a member of an Open Morris member side, or an Individual, Life or Honorary member of Open Morris, providing they are aged 25 or under on the competition closing date, or submitting an entry relevant to their work with Open Morris members aged 25 or under on the competition closing date.

Entries should include at least a paragraph of text plus a pictorial element; eg an A4 page of photographs or illustrations, a video, or animation. If you are unsure whether your chosen type of entry is suitable, please email chair@open-morris.org with an outline of your idea.

Your entry must be in a format which can be both emailed and sent in the post. All entries must include elements which can be printed in Dancing On!, be presented or displayed at the Open Morris AGM, and posted on the Open Morris website.

The competition closing date is Wednesday 28^th August 2019.

Full rules, and guidelines to enter the competition can be found on the Open Morris website.

We eagerly await your competition entries, and hope that our wonderful Morris community will inspire great things! Please pass this on to any potential entrants you may know!

Jen Cox
Secretary
Open Morris
