Contests

Throughout the school year, HSBJ sponsors a variety of contests that are designed to showcase the multimedia and broadcasting skills of high school students. Many of these contest s feature prizes, and all of them offer the opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of broadcast journalism in a multimedia format.

For the convenience of students and teachers, we also list contests sponsored by affiliated organizations. However, this listing does not constitute an endorsement of the contest by HSBJ.

The following is a list of upcoming contests:
