2009 Media Festival Update

All the entries for the Media Festival have been received and we are happy to report we have received a total of more than 260 entries. That is about 35 more entries than we received last year.

Entries are now being evaluated by our judges for awards. And speaking of awards, the award ceremony is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, May 20 at two locations. Schools who send BOCES students to the Chenango Campus will attend the ceremony at the Support Services Center in Norwich and schools who send students to the Harrold Campus in Masonville will attend the ceremony at Townsend Elementary School in Walton. More details about times and locations will be mailed out to those who entered as the festival gets closer.
