TO: High School Faculty Advisers

FROM: Linda Heacox, IWPA High School Journalism Contest Chair

Every year, the Illinois Woman's Press Association honors the best student journalists in the state with awards through our High School Journalism Contest. As the IWPA's Contest Chair for 2008, I'd like to invite you to encourage your students to enter their work in this year's contest.

Download and print the entry form and guidelines (both in MSWord). The guidelines vary for each category, so please follow them carefully.

The fee is $5.00 for each entry. The deadline is February 29, 2008. All entries must be postmarked by that date. All first place entries will be entered in the national contest sponsored by our parent organization, the National Federation of Press Women. Local winners will be notified this spring and will be invited to attend our Annual Awards Banquet in May in Chicago. National award winners will be announced this summer.

Please make checks payable to the Illinois Woman's Press Association and mail your entries to: Linda Heacox, IWPA High School Journalism Contest, 7341 N. Hoyne Avenue, Unit G, Chicago, IL 60645. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at cmnctr@hotmail.com. Thanks and good luck!
