Notes on this year’s contest results

Please keep in mind the following notes about this year’s regional contest:

• The words “no award” are listed for many slots in the results sheet. Judges can award First through Sixth Places. However, if there are not enough entries for that many awards or if the judge believes that entries do not merit the award, KSPA allows judges to not name an award winner. Some judges chose to not award sixth entries based on their journalistic judgement.
• Emails sent next week will feedback on the writing and visual contest entries. Certificates – for member schools who have paid for the contest – will be mailed for all winning entries next week as well.
• All award winners — from First through Sixth Place — earn a chance to compete at the State Contest.

Correction Request

If you believe that there has been a mistake in the reporting of results, please do not email. Instead, please fill out this form. All corrections must be logged by Wednesday, March 10 at 11 p.m. If corrections are not filed by that deadline, the incorrect information will appear on the certificate, and no replacement will be provided. Please file corrections for “Yearbook Theme & Graphics,” “Multimedia Storytelling,” “Social Media” or any of the video categories if one of the team member’s names is not included in the results. Thanks for your help in making our results as complete and accurate as possible.

Certificates, Entries and Rubrics

All materials from the Regional Contests (including certificates for winners, copies of the student entries in on-site contests and judging rubrics for digital and on-site contests) will be mailed after advisers and students have a chance to request corrections in KSPA results. Any schools who have yet to pay membership or Regional Contest fees will have those materials withheld.
