In order to accommodate articles published in the June
2008 issue of The Chess Journalist, CJA Awards Committee
Chairman Jonathan Hilton and CJA President Jerry Hanken
have extended the absolute postmark deadline for the 2008
CJA Awards to June 15, 2008. Entries received later
than June 7 will be sent to judges later than other entries,
so it is still advisable to submit entries before the original
deadline. The Committee Chair intends to mail judges their
first packages of submitted entries June 9, to ensure judges
have a full six weeks to report their scores.
