The Virginia Communications Hall of Fame is seeking nominees for its 2013 class of inductees.

The Hall of Fame seeks to induct persons born in Virginia or persons born elsewhere who have become distinctively identified with Virginia who have made outstanding long-term contributions in the field of communications.

The Hall of Fame, established by the VCU School of Mass Communications in 1986, recognizes individuals who have shown exceptional achievement in the fields of print journalism, broadcast journalism, public relations, advertising and interactive media, including cable and the Internet. The Hall of Fame has 140 members.

Nominations must be received before Nov. 30 and should include:

• A letter of nomination that identifies the nominee and describes, in as much detail as possible, the professional contributions to communication of the nominee as well as the nominee’s Virginia connection.
• Contact information for the nominee (or, if deceased, of one of the nominee’s family members) including address, telephone and email address.
• Names and contact information for at least two individuals whom the Hall of Fame Selection Committee could contact for additional information on behalf of the nominee.
