ENTRY INFORMATION
This contest is open exclusively to THSPA-member schools. If your medium has not yet joined THSPA, you'll need to pay the
$45 membership fee to enter the contest. (See the membership application on this pdf, or go to the "Join THSPA" page at
www.tennpress.org.)
Each school may submit up to four entries per category, with the following exceptions: up to two entries for Best Sports
Coverage of a Live Sports Event and Best Newscast / News Magazine; up to three entries of the other Broadcast categories
and of Multimedia categories. A student may place only once in each category. Students will still be able to enter multiple
times per category if they'd like, but only one certificate per student per category. A student who pairs or teams up with oth-
ers will be able to place in a category more than once. And again this year, we will recognize First, Second and Third Place
students and no Honorable Mention. Please do not submit an entry that was submitted in last year's contest. See Page 8
for payment notes.
All individual entries must be submitted at one time via a Google folder by Jan. 15, 2022. (Create a new, free Gmail account
if you need to.) Create a folder called "THSPA Contest [School Name] [Medium Name]." For example:
THSPA Contest Central High School Pawprint
THSPA Contest Midtown High School WMHS
Share the folder with THSPAcontest@Lipscomb.edu by Jan. 15 (as opposed to emailing the folder).
Submissions for the individual categories need to be in pdf or link form only. Audio and video files should first be uploaded
to sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, etc.
Overall submission notes:
• Make sure it's your folder that's shared to THSPAcontest@Lipscomb.edu, instead of a link to a single pdf.
• Make sure you are giving THSPA rights to organize, add and edit your folder.
• How you know it's been received: You'll receive an email when the submissions have been received. If you do not
receive an email notification within one business day, please email us at THSPA@Lipscomb.edu.
• Once you have shared your submissions, you may not make any edits or changes to the files/entries. Our office will
download the files on the day they are shared with us.
• Judges are not required to make comments on the entries.
• Overall entries will be available for pick-up at the awards ceremony.
• Certificates not claimed at that date will be mailed to the schools.
• For contest information and/or questions, please contact THSPA Director Jimmy McCollum at 615-966-5607 or at
THSP[email protected].
To prepare individual newspaper, yearbook, literary magazine and photographic entries:
Submit a tearsheet for each of the entries. A tearsheet is a pdf from a publication. Newspaper, yearbook, literary magazine
and photo entries must be saved as pdfs and must follow the following naming convention: category number_school
name _student's last name_student's first name.pdf. For the first nine categories, be sure to include the zero at the start.
Examples:
• A news story written by Mary Jane Doe from Central High School would be saved as
01_CentralHighSchool_Doe_Mary-Jane.pdf
• A second news story written by her would be saved as 01_CentralHighSchool_Doe_Mary-Jane2.pdf
• A newspaper ad designed by Mary Wu and Tony King from North Middle School would be saved as
12_NorthMiddleSchool_Wu_Mary_King_Tony.pdf
• Entries that were created by more than two students should say "Staff." For example, a Student Life Design created by
three students would be saved as 21_MidtownHighSchool_Staff.pdf. (A second submission in that category would
be 21_MidtownHighSchool_Staff2.pdf.)
• For online newspapers/newsmagazines, you may save as a pdf by using the Safari browser and saving a page by File >
Export as PDF. Or, you may submit links; if you choose this route, follow the instructions in the section below.
When naming each pdf, type student names EXACTLY as you would like them to appear on the certificate, including capital-
ization and using a hyphen (-) to signify a space. If any of the names you are submitting require special characters or instruc-
tions, please include them in the "Notes and Comments" section at the end of this form, which you can mail with your pay-
ment.
NOTE: Including a GoogleDoc inside your folder with a list of all student entries is encouraged to help us ensure everything
is submitted. Make sure that your list of pdfs matches the number of entries on your Payment and Entry Form (Page 8).
Entry uploading tips:
The following are steps you can take to ensure the submission process goes as smoothly as possible:
~ Make sure that each entry is submitted as a single PDF.
~ Make sure that photography/art/story entries containing multiple pieces clearly showcase which one is to be judged.
~ Make sure that photography entries are shown in the context of the spread or page they are on, instead of as individual photo
files.
~ Make sure spreads are exported and submitted as spreads instead of as individual pages.
~ Make sure the number of entries being submitted matches the number specified on the Payment and Entry Form on Page 8 of
this pdf.
To prepare individual audio, video and multimedia entries:
For online, multimedia and broadcasting entries, create a Google Doc with links to entries and place it the folder that you'll share with
THSPA. The Google Doc should be titled "Broadcast/Multimedia Entries -- [School Name] [Medium Name]. Type each entry with the
naming format specified above, and then paste the URL.
Examples for a student submitting two entries for the Best Commercial category:
40_MidtownHighSchool_Doe_Mary-Jane1: (Paste URL for that commercial from YouTube, Vimeo, webpage, etc.)
40_MidtownHighSchool_Doe_Mary-Jane2: (Paste URL for that commercial from YouTube, Vimeo, webpage, etc.)
Examples for a TV station submitting two newscasts for the Best Newscast / News Magazine category:
46_MidtownHighSchool_Staff1: (Paste URL for that newscast from YouTube, Vimeo, medium's website, etc.)
46_MidtownHighSchool_Staff2: (Paste URL from that newscast from YouTube, Vimeo, medium's website, etc.)
Example for two students combining for an entry for the Best Audio category:
50_MidtownHighSchool_Lopez_Alberto_Jones_Ty: (Paste URL for that audio from SoundCloud, medium's website, etc.)
So a station submitting only links would have no pdfs in its folder -- only the Google Doc listing the entries/links.
When naming each entry, type student names EXACTLY as you would like them to appear on the certificate, including capitaliza-
tion and using a hyphen (-) to signify a space. Make sure the number of entries being submitted matches the number specified on
the Payment and Entry Form on Page 8 of this pdf. If any of the names you are submitting require special characters or instructions,
please include them in the "Notes and Comments" section at the end of this form, which you can mail with your payment.
To prepare special awards and overall categories:
Entries must be placed in a standard manila file folder (11 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches). Color folders are not allowed. Write the category being
entered, the student’s name, publication or station name, the date of publication and the school’s name on the tab. These submissions
must be postmarked by Jan. 15, 2022.
Ship overall entries and send payment by Jan. 15, 2021, to: THSPA Contests

41. Best Sports Show: Submit one video, no longer than 5 minutes in length, of your best sports show that aired anytime in 2021.
This is a conglomeration of sports stories or presentations within a newscast; it is from a single program, and not a single pack-
age. This submission can feature clips taken from the same show or be an up-to-five-minute clip from one show. Judging criteria:
audio, video, editing, writing, delivery/presence.
42. Best Short Feature Story: Submit one video of your best feature story from a news presentation of no more than 5 minutes in
length. To clarify: a feature is a human interest story; it has a softer edge than a news package. Judging criteria: audio, video, pro-
duction/editing, talent, delivery/presentation, writing (x2).
43. Best News Package: Submit one video no longer than 5 minutes of your best news package work. A package is a self-contained
story and typically includes the reporter (on or off-camera) doing a self-identification tag-out (“This is John Smith for Tiger
News.”). Judging criteria: audio, video, production/editing, talent, delivery/presentation, writing (x2).
44. Best Sports Package: Submit one video no longer than 5 minutes of your best sports package work. A package is a self-
contained story and typically includes the reporter (on or off-camera) doing a self-identification tag-out (“This is John Smith for
Tiger News.”). Do not submit hype videos or highlights in this category; see category No. 53 for those entries. Judging criteria:
audio, video, production/editing, talent, delivery/presentation, writing (x2).
45. Best Sports Coverage of a Live Event: Submit one continuous segment of no more that 30 minutes in length of the event; the
30 minutes can be from the beginning, middle or end. This is NOT a collection of highlights, but a recording of a continuous live
event, without edits. Pre-game shows will be considered, but preference will be given to entries that feature student talent cov-
ering live competition. Each school may submit no more than two entries. Entries may be from anytime in 2021. Judging criteria:
continuity, audio, video, production, graphics, writing, talent delivery/presence.
46. Best Newscast/News Magazine: Submit one video of no longer than 30 minutes in length of your best single news presenta-
tion that aired anytime in 2021. This would be a video of all or part of a single continuous newscast edited only for length (so as
to not go over the 30-minute-maximum criterion). Each school may submit no more than two entries in this category. Judging
criteria: audio, video, graphics, production, writing, talent, delivery/presence.
47. Mark Madison Best Television Station: Do submit the $7 payment for the judging of this, but you do not have to include the
link on your Google doc, since this submission is automatic. Results in categories 39-46 will be considered in the selection of the
Best Television Station, with emphasis doubled for Best Newscast/News Magazine. Schools do NOT have to enter all eight cat-
egories, and those that submit fewer entries will not be penalized.

duced anytime in 2021. Entrants may upload the video or supply the URL address of the website (or YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).
54. Best Music Video: Submit one music video produced anytime in 2021. Entrants may upload the video or supply the URL
address of the website (or YouTube, Vimeo, etc.). In the event of "close calls" here, preference will be given to videos containing

site serves its audience. Entrants must supply the URL of the website on the Google Doc.
