Rules for Entering
The ONLY qualified entrants for this competition are faculty and graduate students who (a) work for or attend an institution that is accredited by ACEJMC, or (b) are current (paid) individual members of AEJMC. University and college staff employees may NOT enter. Undergraduate students may NOT enter.
The entrant must be the person who designed and primarily built the site. (This is a Web design competition, not a teaching competition.) For a larger publication site with many contributors (e.g. a student magazine), the entrant may be the supervising faculty member if the entrant contributed significantly to the design and production of the site. (See special conditions for the Journalism category only.)
Sites
All sites entered must advance education or research in journalism or mass communication. Sites unrelated to this field are NOT accepted. Sites must fit into one of the given categories. The entrant must choose the best category for the site submitted. A site may be submitted only once per year and in only ONE category. An entrant may enter more than one site in a single year. Sites that do not fit the criteria will be eliminated from the competition by the director.
Presentation
Winning sites will be presented at the AEJMC annual convention in August. If the entrant of a Web site selected for an award cannot be present at the convention, that person must make arrangements for the site to be presented there. Travel expenses are NOT paid. AEJMC membership is required for anyone attending the convention.
