Journalism & Ready Writing
Journalism and Ready Writing
Journalism on April 26, 2024 will be in person run by Mary Pulliam.
Competition Procedures:
Prosper will provide computers and printers for competitors to use. All schools may choose to bring their own equipment if they would prefer to not use the district provided equipment.
Students may, of course, choose to write their tasks and submit it to the Contest Manager.
Verification will take place as soon as possible once grading is completed.
Results will be posted as soon as possible after verification
Awards will be placed in school bags.
The Regional Host WILL be providing laptops/computers for journalism events and ready writing.
While guest logins and facilities will be checked ahead of time with technology personnel on hand, the host school bears no responsibility in the case of issues arising from use of district technology during the contest.
Schools participating in Ready Writing or Journalism events should either be prepared to use the district devices provided (at their own risk), hand-write their entries, or bring their own computer (one for each competitor) and printer(s) with power cords and extension cords.
We will have separate judges for Ready Writing and for Journalism.
Both sets of judges are experienced at judging at all levels of competition within their respective events.
