A Message from Av Westin, Executive Director of the NATAS Foundation
It is with deep regret that we announce the suspension of the 2008-2009
competition for the National Student Award for Excellence on the
National level.
Partly as a result of the recent severe downturn in the nation’s
economy, corporate and personal grants and donations that provided
National Student Television (NSTV) with funds to conduct our annual
competition have not materialized. There is no money to continue our
operations.
But this program is too good to let die.
As such, each of our regional chapters will be working together to
continue the program on a local level. Although there will not be any
national student winners, the chapters will continue to honor and
reward their local high school winners as they have done in the past.
For more information regarding your regional chapter’s program, please
call or email them directly. If you’re not sure how to contact your
local chapter, follow this link to find contact information for each of
our 19 chapters: http://www.emmyonline.tv/chapters.html
Despite our national suspension of this year’s competition, the NSTV
website will remain on line enabling us to continue to proudly display
the winning efforts of the past and for teachers and students to
download free copies of “Best Practices for Broadcast Journalists”.
There is always hope. We are still trying to solicit funds and if
any materialize, we will resume the National Student television
program. Until then, thank you for your interest and for participating
in a program that made an important contribution, helping high school
students achieve a better understanding of the best practices of
broadcast journalism.
We want to thank Mirror-Image
for supporting the National Student Television Competition and their
efforts to continue support of the competiton in the future. For more

Sincerely,
Av Westin
