OUR CONTEST MAINSTAYS — NEWSPAPER AND YEARBOOK!

The Illinois Journalism Education Association sponsors two publication contests each year, one for yearbooks and the other for newspapers. Members are entitled to enter their students into one of those competitions for free, although they must pay the contest fee if they also enter students into the other competition.
