2020 Contest Underway

Posted on February 4, 2020

The 2020 KCM Publications Awards Contest is now underway.  We’re using Better BNC again this year (https://betternewspapercontest.com/).  If you were the adviser last year, your should still have an account on the site.

Schools can submit entries between Tuesday, Feb. 4 and Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2020.

Only two categories were modified at the Fall Adviser’s Retreat in September – Audio Features and Social Media Storytelling.  You can review the updated descriptions in theKCM_Fall2019Retreat_Minutes.

If you have not paid your dues for 2020 yet, please contact Stacy Sparks as soon as possible

If you have specific questions about the contest, please contact the overall contest coordinator, Regina Cassell (regina.cassell@washburn.edu) at Washburn.
