FLIER SUBMISSION

Submit Your Flier at the Bottom of the Page

The Public Relations body only screens for aspects that would violate the 12 traditions, 12 concepts, or impair the NA public image. We do not approve fliers, we screen for issues.

Our primary concern is how a message may affect or confuse a newcomer or someone unfamiliar with NA.

To assist you in avoiding any issues and streamline your submissions, the following guidance is offered:

Flier Must Include:

• Group or Committee Name
• Contact name (person)
• Contact phone number (or email)
• Location Address
• Date and Time
• NA logo or "Narcotics Anonymous"

Flier Should Include if Relevant:

• What is the event (Hiking, baseball, picnic, dance, dinner)
• Any Costs (ticket sold, plates sold, advance payment, who to pay, free)
• Purpose of event (fundraiser, socializing, fellowshipping)
• Food (sold, included, bring your own, potluck)
• Games (types, bring gear, gear supplied)

Flier Must Not Include:

• No references or connections or cute sayings that imply drug use
• Nothing that could harm the NA name or NA public image
• No affiliation with any business or entity (except location for identification)
• No commercialized images (Santa Claus, Pepsi, Easter Bunny, etc.)
• Maintain anonymity (cleantime celebrations)
• Be mindful of copyrighted images

Some Tips & Suggestions to Keep in Mind:

• We are a program of attraction, be inviting
• Messages should be recovery-oriented
• Brevity is good (short messages), simple is easier to read (unlike the wall of text that is this page)
• If you had ten seconds to tell a friend what is going on, what would you say? (Next Sunday we are gonna meet at the beach and have a picnic at noon, you should come!)
• Be fun and attractive
• Crazy fonts are fun, but hard to read

Checklist Complete:

Once your flier appears to satisfy the above guidelines, fill out the form and upload your file, and hit the submit button.

What to Expect After Submission:

The PR body makes an effort to review every submission pretty quickly and you will likely hear back from us in a couple of hours or by the end of the day.

If you have not heard anything, that means your submission did not go through. (It happens, no one's fault.) Please resubmit or send an email ([email protected]) to the Webservant to check on status.

If an issue is flagged, suggestions will be made on how to correct the issue. On occasion the PR team may remove the issue if it does not affect the artwork or change the aesthetic design. If you would prefer your own corrections, you may resubmit.

After correction or if no correction is needed, you will be notified that the flier was approved for usage! You can then post where your Group has decided it should go, and if you would like to have it featured on this website be sure to check that box.

Enjoy!
