Welcome to the 2012 FMA Charlie Awards Online Submission Module. The FMA has created this online submission procedure to help augment Award submissions, and to make submissions easier and less costly to submit. All submissions, online or via postal mail are entered into the same system and given equal weight in judging.

  • If you would like to see the listing of possible Online Entry Categories, Click Here. Note: Entries can, and often, are entered into more than one category.
Entry Requirements
  1. Competition is restricted to FMA member publications that have produced at least three issues between May 2011 and April 2012.
  2. If your company or organization is not an FMA member, please submit a separate check for dues, along with your payment for entries. Dues information can be found on the membership application.
  3. Only those entries published between May 2011 and April 2012 are eligible for competition.
  4. If there are fewer than five entries for any Entry Category’s division, the FMA reserves the right to either combine the entries with another division or cancel the category and refund the entrants.
