Deadline for SFJ Contest is March 29th
The deadline for the 25th Annual Features Journalism Contest is fast approaching. Please visit our contest page to learn how you can enter. Don’t forget there are three new categories this year for entrants in video storytelling, integrated storytelling and student general features.
Contest information: http://featuresjournalism.org/contests-2/
For those of you submitting multiple entries this year, please follow a tip from Paul Saltzman of the Chicago Sun-Times:
When you have completed an entry, you will click “submit” to send the information. You will then see “message sent” along with a rundown of the information you entered.
At this point, you will also see “go back.” If you click on the “go back” it will indeed take you back, but it will also clear out all the fields in your submission. You can save yourself time and effort of retyping the same information (newspaper name, address, phone, etc.) if you use the back arrow on your browser instead. This way, you’ll only have to enter the new information for your next entry!
