The Getting Attention 2010 Nonprofit Tagline Awards is still accepting submissions (deadline July 28th). Headed by Nancy Schwartz, and co-sponsored by some NTEN-familiar folks (Blackbaud, Event360, and See3), they're expanding the categories for taglines this year to include special events and campaigns.

Come on NTENners!
