Media Advisors Division The Student Media Advisors Division of the Broadcast Education Association invites papers for possible presentation at the BEA 49th Annual Convention & Exhibition, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, April 16-18, 2004. The BEA 2004 convention theme is "Bold Vision/Fresh Thinking: Untangling Media's Gordian Knot." The theme is intended as a focus for the convention, but does not imply that competitive papers must reflect that theme. Papers submitted to the competitive paper competition are classified in two categories: debut and open. The debut category is for faculty, professionals and students who have never presented a paper at a BEA convention. The open category is for all others. The papers should not exceed 30 double-spaced, typed/printed pages in length, including references and tables. Please use APA style. Papers must be accompanied by an abstract not to exceed 250 words. The same paper cannot be submitted to more than one BEA interest division during the same year. Papers should address some topic related to the goals and mission of the Student Media Advisors Division. Papers can be printed (typewritten), submitted on diskette, or submitted through electronic mail. The names and affiliations of all authors, the name, address and telephone number of the principal author, and the category (debut or open) to which the paper is submitted, should appear only on the cover sheet or title page. Please do not include your name(s) on any of the pages of text. All submitted papers will be blind reviewed by a panel of judges, and ranked on content, style, and contribution to the goals and mission of the Student Media Advisors Division. The top two papers in the debut and open categories will receive recognition and are presented at the division's paper competition session at the BEA convention. In the debut category, the top paper will receive a $200 cash award and the second-place paper will receive a $100 cash award. The Division has also voted to award the same cash awards for the top papers in the open category for 2004. For multiple authored papers, at least one
author of an accepted competitive paper must attend the convention
to present the paper. Additionally, the division may select papers
for presentation in the Scholar-to-Scholar (poster) session. Dale Hoskins Phone: (928)523-6824  |
