FOR THE SPORTS NETWORK INTERNATIONAL
IDR MAGAZINE

The annual publication of Sports Network International Drill & Ceremony Competitions!


WHAT IS THE IDR MAGAZINE?
The annual IDR Magazine is a publication produced by Sports Network International, Inc. (SNI) This magazine is mailed once a year in early September to every Junior ROTC unit as well as select non-affiliated high schools and private academies (currently, just over 3,000 programs worldwide). The purpose of the magazine is to provide information, entertainment and notoriety for the cadets who participate within DRILL PROGRAMS of Junior ROTC units. Specifically, the magazine focuses on the issues, information and people that involve themselves with the military drill and ceremony units that are synonymous with many of the most outstanding JROTC programs in the Nation. This includes information on drill competitions produced by Sports Network International, as well as other interesting stories and items that may relate to Junior ROTC. For a detailed answer to the why and whats of IDR, please look through the IDR FAQ.

ADVERTISING WITHIN THE IDR MAGAZINE?
As the event has grown over the years, it has become more and more apparent that interested groups would like to reach the 475,000-plus cadets, instructors, and parents that have a pass through look at IDR every year. Currently the IDR maintains a 36-page format and is mail once a year. SNI has looked carefully at this matter and decided that the time may be right for an expansion and modification of IDR Magazine to better suit the needs of the growing Junior ROTC cadet population, as well as the increased using of the internet for distributing information. This modification will include the addition of several key advertisers who will be accepted into the upcoming edition of IDR Magazine and beyond.

WHO MAY ADVERTISE WITHIN IDR?
Advertising will be considered for this publication if it is felt that units who receive this magazine will greatly benefit from an increased level of knowledge about a particular goods, services or educational opportunities. Therefore, all advertising is done subject to the approval of SNI on this basis.

WHEN DOES THE IDR GO TO PRESS?
Each year, from roughly June 1st to August 25th, the IDR is written. Layout and production takes a while to accomplish. Generally, the deadline for advertising materials to be "in hand" is August 25th each year. However, with advertising still a very limited item, those wishing to be considered for inclusion should get their items submitted for approval just after work begins in early June.

ANYTHING SPECIAL I SHOULD KNOW?
Advertising must be camera-ready. Non-camera ready materials may be subject to an additional charge. Submissions can be in MAC or PC format, on CD or DVD. The printer that puts together the final product is a commercial, full-service shop here in Daytona Beach, Florida and can work with virtually any format of product you can ship to SNI. For specific information regarding what format to submit, linescreen and sizes of ads, contact SNI directly.
