2010 Student Design Competition

College News Design contest set

CALL FOR ENTRIES: The 2010 College News Design Contest is now accepting entries for student design, graphics and illustration work published on or after March 16, 2009, and on or before March 15, 2010.

Every student gets one free entry, and work is eligible if published as part of a student newspaper or magazine, or at a professional publication during an internship. Expanded multimedia categories also allow for freestanding news projects, not associated with a publication.

The top prize — student designer of the year — comes with a $750 prize, good toward travel to the Society for News Design’s annual workshop, to be held in Denver in September. The contest is co-sponsored by the Missouri School of Journalism and the Society for News Design. Questions: e-mail Joy Mayer at mayerj@missouri.edu. Details: ssnd.missouri.edu. Follow us on Twitter @sndmizzou, and help spread the word.

Tales from FERPA crypt

Tell us your FERPA horror stories. The Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act was intended to protect educational records. However, as many know, some institutions have extended the definition of "educational" records to keep what should be public information behind a veil of secrecy. Kevin Schwartz at the University of North Carolin at Chapel Hill is collecting FERPA "horror story" anecdotes in an effort to make a case for reform of FERPA restrictions.
