SPJ Seeks Judges for Student Mark of Excellence Contest

The Oregon Territory Chapter of SPJ is looking for volunteer judges for the 2015 Mark of Excellence student journalism awards.

Because we don't want to overload anyone (and we want to encourage volunteers this year and in the future) we're looking for volunteers to judge just ONE category of the awards. There are categories in radio, television, newspaper and online journalism, produced by college students from one of our sister regions of SPJ. (We won't be judging our own area.)

Judging takes place online between Feb. 8-26, 2015. You will receive a username and password to access your entries.

If you'd like to help (and it really is fun to see student work), please contact Samantha Swindler, SPJ Oregon President, at sswindler@oregonian.com by Dec. 1. We must have our share of the judges lined up by December.
