Enter our carry-in contest and you may leave MIPA’s Middle School Conference with some award-winning students!
Entries should be published work or work scheduled for publication. Please do not enter classroom exercises not intended to be published.
MIPA’s Middle School Conference doesn’t only feature great speakers to help motivate your students and teach them tips to improve their journalism. We also have a contest just for junior high and middle school student media outlets. Bring your entries with you and we’ll have them judged before you leave!
Please make a copy of the entry form form and attach it to each entry. Turn in your entries when you check in at the Middle School Conference.
We also encourage junior highs and middle schools to enter MIPA’s annual contests, which have a deadline in Feburary.
