 Contest award certificates and booklet with judges' comments will be presented to winners at an ACCM session during the fall convention of the Associated Collegiate Press and College Media Advisers.

Simply put, we feel our competition is distinguished and unique among all the other media contests out there. There is a need for not only journalistic excellence, but the ability to communicate the Christian worldview in an excellent and meaningful way.

The annual ACCM Media Contest is one way our organization helps student journalists and student-run media go out into the world and come back with meaningful, beneficial feedback - and hopefully an award or two. Each entry category is judged by a Christian professional in a related field.
