Please note that contest entry fees DO NOT automatically calculate. Please be sure to keep track of the number of individual ($5 each) and team ($10 each) contests your publication is entering. This information will be required at the bottom of this form, where you will be asked to enter it and it will be totaled.

This form is for on-the-spot contests only. Deadline for entry is April 1 and payment must be received in the FSPA Office before convention, by April 15, or must be brought to convention check-in or contestants will not be allowed to enter.

All advisers with students participating in the contests must judge or proctor or supply a judge or proctor. Please list preferences below for judging availability. You may not judge a broadcast contest your students are entered in; print contests are blind judged so this is not as large an issue in that area.
