Martinsville, Homestead claim top spots in 2017 IASB High School Broadcasting Competition Awards
Martinsville High School was named Television School of the Year and Homestead High School won Radio School of the Year at the 2017 Indiana Association of School Broadcasters (IASB) awards Monday at the University of Indianapolis. Crown Point High School was the Television School of the Year runner-up, while Carmel High School was the runner-up in the Radio School of the Year category.
More than 800 students and instructors from 30 Indiana high schools and career centers attended the IASB 14th annual conference on UIndy’s campus. Students participated in the IASB High School Broadcasting Competition and attended over two-dozen workshops that addressed topics ranging from promotions, video production and storytelling to social media, radio and sports broadcasting.
The top six radio air personalities and news anchors competed live on WICR-FM, and their television counterparts competed in the UIndy TV studio.
“This year’s conference was the largest ever. The quality and variety of the professional development sessions was incredible. The students who performed live in the TV and radio news and radio air personality events were especially impressive, which made it tough for the judges to select a winner,” said IASB Executive Director and University of Indianapolis Communications instructor Scott Uecker.
