92 Superior rankings awarded, 537 students recognized in Fall 2024 NSMC
November 10, 2024
The National Student Media Contests were all completed online and on site for the 2024 Fall JEA/NSPA National High School Journalism Convention in Philadelphia.
In all, 1,326 students competed in photo, broadcast, graphic design, literary magazine, design and writing contests.
There were 537 students recognized with 92 superior, 164 excellent and 281 honorable mention awards.
All the competitors had their submissions assessed by teams of judges. Those who competed in contests with online submissions have critiques available on the NSMC website. Contestants can log in with their username and password to view their critiques. Those who competed onsite received critique sheets with feedback at the awards ceremony.
“More than 200 judges provided their time and expertise to provide critical feedback to all our contestants on the work they entered in the fall 2024 NSMC contests,” Contests Chair Nancy Smith, MJE, said. “In addition to the awards many of those photos, stories, videos, designs and graphic designs earned, all submissions received critical feedback that we hope will be of great value to the students as they finish out their school year.”
Anyone who was not able to stay for the awards ceremony will have their critiques and any awards they may have won mailed to them later this month.
Judges shared some of their thoughts about what some of the strengths were in the category and what are some general areas to look to improve in the future. The contest prompts and the critiques are great resources for classroom lessons and preparation for future contests.
In addition, through SmugMug students and advisers can view thousands of photos from JEA photo contests in each of the nine categories. The site houses all of the photos that have been recognized in past conventions so users can learn from those student photographers.
SmugMug has an interface that discourages copying of images and allows full display of metadata including camera data and captions. So photojournalists really can break down the photo to discuss technique, composition and the meaning of the images.
