ExDerts to Screen All-America Entries 1

More than 250 application blanks have been requested by civic leaders, Leagues of Women Voters, Chambers of Commerce and other organizations desiring to enter their communities in the 1961 All-America Cities competi- tion.

Nominations for this highly coveted award closed October 3. Later this month a screening committee composed of prominent civic and governmental experts will review all completed entries and select 22 cities which will be invited to present their cases before the All-America Cities jury that meets during the National Conference on Government at the Hotel Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, Florida, November 30-December 2.

The jury will choose the eleven- member 1961 All-America team of winning cities. As in previous years, Dr. George H. Gallup, chairman of the League’s Council and director of the American Institute of Public Opinion, will serve as foreman of the jury.

After final investigation, the names of the winning communities will be announced jointly in the early spring by Look Magazine and the National

Municipal League, cosponsors of the contest.

This is the thirteenth consecutive year of the internationally famous competition. Past recipients of the award have come from 40 different states and from the commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
