ONA contest deadline: one category for students

June 15th, 2007 by Bryan

Melissa Worden points out the deadline for the 2007 Online News Association awards: June 30, 2007. Here are complete details.

There’s one category that should interest college media types:

 Student journalism: This category honors excellence in digital journalism by a student or team reporting on a single story or issue. The work must have appeared originally in a student- or school-based Web site and have been created by full-time student(s) (at the time of publication). Unpublished entries do not qualify.

Cost of entry is $50-$100, depending on how many visitors your site gets each month. I’d love to see a college media outlet win this award, as opposed to the class-produced projects that usually crop up in this type of contest. Nothing against those folks, but producing multimedia on deadline for a student-directed publication is vastly different from coming up with one whiz-bang project with the help of professors during an entire semester.
