One of my favorite projects I get to work on every year is The Juicys.  My co-workers like to call it the Golden Globes of church communications.  I like to say we’re rewarding communications awesomeness.

Either way, Church Juice, a project of Back to God Ministries, is giving away two $2,000 grants with the possibility of some smaller, runner-up awards, to churches that have great vision for effectively using communications tools to reach their congregations and surrounding communities. 

We know communications can be the thankless job in a church.  So we want to stand up and say “You’re doing an awesome job! Now, here’s some cash for your next great idea.” 

The process of nominating your church for The Juicys is pretty simple.  Head over to TheJuicys.org to apply.  We want to know what you’ve done that’s great and what you want to do in the future.  We’ll break all the applications into categories of larger congregations and smaller congregations.  Then we’ll have a panel of smart communication people look over the applications and pick their favorites. 

Don’t be modest.  Be proud of the work you’ve done to build God’s Kingdom.  We’re looking for any sort of communications project.  It could be a revamped website, a complete rebranding, great use of social media, a new overall communications plan, an outreach campaign or something so cool it’s not in this list.

There are more details over on The Juicys website, plus you can take a look at last year’s winners, so check it out and apply.  The deadline is August 3.
