Submit J-Challenge 2: Broadcast Feature Story Submission here.

Contest Category/Topic: Working through COVID-19.
Covid-19 has created many challenges to routine and procedures, but throughout it, schools and programs have adjusted. Create a broadcast feature story detailing how your school, an individual, a program, or a group or team has adjusted to COVID-19 and are striving to make it work.

Deadline: December 31, 2020 by midnight.

Guidelines and Rules:
- Current 2020-2021 MIPA members may enter the contest for free. There is, as with all MIPA contests, no entry fee to enter for members. MIPA dues cover this contest. At this time, due to the challenges Covid-19 has placed on the year, Missouri journalism K-12 programs who are not members may submit entries for a $10 fee. Each entry has a $10 fee. Please make checks payable to MIPA and send them to MIPA, P.O. Box 1114, Columbia, MO 65205.
- Topics will be of a nature that students will be able to use the products created for the challenge in their student publication(s) in the future.
- Students will have until midnight, on the dates included for each challenge, to complete the task(s) assigned in their chosen category on their own with minimal assistance from their adviser(s).
- Time spans for production of the challenges vary. Pay close attention to deadline dates.
- Each category will be judged; and a First, Second, and Third place will be given, unless the judge decides otherwise. First, Second, and Third place winners from each category and each contest will be entered into a drawing once all challenges have been completed for a chance to win a $100 VISA gift card.
