Students from Schurr High School (Montebello, Calif.) react to the announcement of write-off winners at the awards ceremony in Denver, Colo. in the spring of 2007. Typically, more than 500 students receive recognition for participation in the national on-site write-off competitions at each convention. Photo by Chris Hanewinckel.
Entries are limited to one contestant per category, per school. Confer
with all media advisers in your school to choose contest participants.
Decide which students from each staff will enter each category. If two
or more individuals on different staffs want to participate in the same
category, only one may be chosen to represent the school. A school
may enter one person per category. Each student may participate
in only one category.
EXCEPTIONS: Two-person teams are allowed to
submit one story as a team in Video News Story, Video Sports Story,
Video Feature Story and In-Camera Feature categories. Each person
must pay the contest entry fee. Carry-in contestants will be disqualified if they do not personally attend the 4-6 p.m. critique session.
Join JEA if you are not already a member. Students cannot enter the
Write-off contest unless their adviser is a JEA member. School or
library membership does not apply. The annual $50 membership
check should be made payable and mailed to Journalism Education
Association. CLICK HERE to join online.
