  • All contest entries must be edited in the O’Reilly Family Event Center at your school’s designated tables. Entries edited off site may be disqualified.

    Teams can not shoot any on-site contest on the campus of their own high school. 76 hour contests may be shot anywhere unless otherwise specified in the individual contest rules.

    All contests will be able to be completed on the campus of Drury University. ASB staff does not require or encourage projects to be shot off-site. Students may shoot / record their projects anywhere they wish (including off-site) under the direction and with the permission of their parents and teacher.

    The 5 second slate will not be counted as part of the work and will not count against the time limit of the piece. Un-slated entries may be disqualified. Audio entries must begin with an audio slate stating the same information listed above.

    FILE NAME REQUIREMENTS

    Name your video file according to the following naming convention:

    EventCode_SchoolCode_EntryName.mov (or .mp4)

    For example, if your entry is for Earlybird Madness and your school code is “55” and your project is called “Cool Film” you would name your file:

    FLASH DRIVES & SD CARDS
    All entries must be submitted on a flash drive or memory card that can be read by a Mac computer.

    All entries must be delivered in Quicktime .MOV or .MP4 format (H.264 compression is preferred).

    The flash drive or SD card must be labeled with your school code. Unlabeled media may be disqualified and will not be returned to the original owners or schools.

    The clock in the big editing room is the official clock. At each deadline, the official timekeeper will close the contest bin and deliver it to the judges. Once the lid on the bin is closed, the contest is irrevocably closed. Late entries may be submitted online by sending a download link to: contests@scholasticbroadcasting.com

    PRE-PRODUCTION
    Interviews and story subjects are not to be scheduled ahead of on-site contest start times. For example, it is against the rules to schedule an interview or lock in a story a week before the conference. Contests are intended to be impromptu in nature. Stories found to be planned ahead of time may be disqualified.

    On-site contests must be created during the event. Any content created beforehand may disqualify an on-site entry. The only exception to this is non-copyrighted music, sound effects, and graphic templates. Entries that include music or content that the student or school does not have the rights or permission to use may be disqualified.

    CONTENT
    Entries must meet all the criteria of the entered contest (i.e. themes, formats, category, etc.)

    Stock footage and stock photography is not allowed in any contest at 4-State.

    Students are reminded to create content that is appropriate for screening in front of an audience of students and teachers. Gratuitous use of profanity, violence, suicide, and/or sexual content may result in disqualification.

    Conference officials will not screen any content that crosses the line for a general, student and teacher audience.

    TEACHER ASSISTANCE
    While ASB allows teachers to advise and teach their students as needed, any teacher seen editing or shooting for their kids may cause that entry to be disqualified.

    In other words, during the course of producing a video, teachers can not touch the camera, or the editing software. The only exception to this rule is the Earlybird Madness contest, where teachers can participate in any way they want.

    If your students see a teacher shooting or editing, please take a photo and send it to contests@scholasticbroadcasting.com

    COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS
    Students must be able to show proof of permission/license if using copyrighted material such as music, sound effects, and graphic templates in their entries. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.

    OFF-SITE EDITING
    All contest entries must be edited in the O’Reilly Family Event Center at your school’s designated tables. Entries edited off site may be disqualified.

  • The traveling sweepstakes trophy will be won by the school that accumulates the most “points” in the following three contests:

    76 Hour Broadcast Story, Spot Feature, and Short Film.

    First place is worth 3 points. Second place is worth 2 points. Third place is worth 1 point. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by which of those top point-earning schools had the most first place finishes among all contests. If there is still a tie, the school who placed higher in Spot Feature will be determined the winner. These three sweeps contests all take place at different times. This means that every school, regardless of size, has an equal chance at winning sweeps.

  • All contests at ASB 4-State Conference (including all contest rules and prompts) are being planned and executed without the assistance of, input from, or inside knowledge of any teacher or student attending the conference. While several attending teachers will be helping to plan the logistics of the non-contest parts of the conference, they will in no way be involved in the planning or judging of contests, or the interpretation of contest rules.

  • Teachers may ask rules questions and clarifications inside the official 4-State Group Me.

    Students are not allowed to ask rules questions. All rules questions must come from teachers.

    The Contest Director will answer rules questions as quickly as possible in the Group Me. The Contest Director is the only person who can clarify rules or answer rule questions.

    In the event of unclear or undefined rules, the 4-State Contest Director’s decision will override any published or assumed rules.
