Another Contest

We have two albums to give away here at the Gem. One will be given to the first and second place win- ner of our news story contest. To enter, sim- ply submit your story to the Gem for publica- tion, and in the last is- sue in March, we will announce the winners. Stories must be about something happening on campus, something important to UPEI stu- dents, students in gen- eral, or to education in general. The same per- son can submit more than one story. The length of the story is not important, quality

is what were after. Sub- missions for the con- test must contain the submitter’s name and -phone number. It must -also state that it is for

the “news story con- test” and must follow regular deadline rules as stated in the Gem.

Anyone re- quiring photographs to accompany their story must contact the pho- tographer on the Fri- day prior to publica- tion. A message stat- ing what you would like the photograph to be of (What, Where, and Who) can be written on a piece of paper, and put into our mail slot if our photographer can- not be reached.

By participating in this contest, you will be informing UPEI stu- dents of what is happen- ing, you will be improv- ing the overall content of the Gem, and you may even win yourself a real bitchen album!
