Short Article Competition
Announcement
The Calgary Section of ASQ is happy to announce the launch of a Short Article Competition.
This will give you, our member, the opportunity to produce that article that you wanted to write for some time and to share with your colleagues a particular area of expertise or specific project that you completed and feel proud about! So, we invite you to pound the keyboard with your creative ideas!
We believe that the reward for this competition will be of significant value and interest to you, since it consists of half of the fees to attend the upcoming World Conference on Quality and Innovation (QCQI). The WCQI takes place this year, in virtual form, on May 24 – 27. This is the premier annual event organized by ASQ International with several great keynote speakers and dozens of insightful sessions.
The award will be given to two members for their individual articles selected by the jury, and it will consist of US$ 425 (the full price for the conference is US$ 849) for each of the two authors , paid in the Canadian currency equivalent at the time the registration is paid to the ASQ.

The competition may not result in an award being given.
All submitted articles will be considered for publication in our digital newsletter. The articles will be considered acceptable if they are between 600 and 1000 words.

Judging
A jury has been formed with five senior members of the Member Leadership Team of the Calgary section who have many years of experience and expertise across the quality disciplines. Their decision will be unappealable and final.
The articles will be judged primarily based on the following three main criteria: relevancy to the chosen topic, readability, and technical content.
The jurors will not know the name of the authors until after the winners have been chosen.
