However, the supplied material does not list the names of the students or projects receiving honorable mentions.
It also does not provide information about the subjects covered in the podcasts, the schools or locations represented, or the criteria used to make the selections. The available announcement is limited to the number of entries and the fact that honorable mentions were chosen. It does not state how many students or productions received recognition.
No details are supplied about the competition’s submission deadline, age range, judging panel or prizes. The material also does not indicate whether the recognized entries will be published, broadcast or otherwise distributed by NPR.
