First place winners’ entries from the MWSC contest are sent on to the National Federation of Press Women (NFPW), which sponsors the only nationwide communications competition for high school students. The contest is endorsed by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Dow Jones announces first-place winners and promotes the competition in its publication distributed to journalism advisers across the nation, giving students and their teachers/advisers local and nationwide recognition. In 2010, four S.C. students earned first place national awards for their work.
