ACP’s Best of Show competition is presented as part of each fall national convention and spring national conference.
It’s a popular, lively competition open to convention registrants, with an entry fee and a range of competition categories for current student work.
The current convention’s webpage will post that convention’s Best of Show contest rules, rates, eligibility and submission guidelines. Links to convention webpages are at right, as well as on the ACP Events page.
Entries for Best of Show Individual Recognition categories are submitted online prior to the convention, and Staff Recognition categories are entered on site at the convention. Judging is completed during the convention, and ranked winners are announced and posted at the close of the convention. Best of Show provides no written critiques or scoring rubrics.
Typically smaller and distinct from the Pacemakers, the Best of Show awards do not signify a ranking of national excellence but rather overall excellence among the attendees and their entries. Convention attendance drives the number of entries and places awarded.
Open to all ACP members, Clips & Clicks offers multiple categories for student achievement in broadcast, design, photojournalism and writing.
With a name that merges historic clips contests for print publications with current digital clicks, the competition is offered per semester. Fall-semester and spring-semester results then determine the annual Sweepstakes Award going to the publication with the most and highest individual winners.
The cost is $10 per entry, with no limit on entries. Any student on staff at an NSPA-member publication is eligible, with shared bylines of up to five students per entry.
Fall-semester work encompasses August to December with fall winners announced in February. Spring-semester work encompasses January to March, with spring winners and the Sweepstakes Award announced in July.
