About the Contest

The postmark deadline for entering the IJEA Yearbook Contest is Nov. 15 of each year, except when the 15th falls on a Sunday.

The 2021 contest will judge books from the 2020-21 school year. The postmark deadline for submitting entries in the 2021 contest is Monday, Nov. 15, 2021. Entry forms are available on this page.

In order to enter their students into this contest, advisers must be members of IJEA at the time they submit their book and entry form. Membership dues are $25 per year.

To join IJEA, complete and submit our online membership form OR our PDF membership form. In either case, mail your $25 membership fee to: Jenn Galloy, IJEA Treasurer, 7405 Kenicott Lane, Plainfield, IL 60586.

All necessary payment instructions are included in both the online and PDF membership forms. For more information about IJEA membership, click here.

As a benefit, members are entitled to enter their students into either the yearbook or newspaper contest without having to pay the $10 contest fee. Advisers must, however, pay one of the contest fees if they enter their students in both contests.

 

Enrollment Divisions

Schools that enter the yearbook contest are assigned to a division based on enrollment. Because school enrollments change annually, division specifications also change from year to year.

The 2019 competition featured six divisions, from smallest schools (Division 1) to largest (Division 6).
