You could win up to $500 in a live, on-site reporting and writing contest next month, sponsored by the Nebraska Press Association.
The contest, the fifth annual Tom Allen Memorial Writing Competition, will take place April 16 at the Holiday Inn in Kearney.
Students will be given a story assignment and a deadline. The winner will receive $500 at the Saturday NPA luncheon in Kearney.
To participate, check in with the NPA registration desk at the convention. You must be there before 1 p.m. You will have to complete the assignment by 5:45 p.m. No Internet access is allowed.
You will need a laptop computer, a notebook and whatever reporting tools you use. The laptops must contain a USB port to download stories onto a jump drive.
If you want to participate, submit your name to me by April 1.
By the way, registration at the convention is free for college students and the Saturday luncheon costs just $5.
