This is just a reminder that the deadline for the monthly Farm Journal Story Lead contest is coming up for the month of May on the 25th! In case you missed the details about this contest, I've included them below. We look forward to your submissions!
The eXtension Foundation, in partnership with Farm Journal, is pleased to bring this opportunity to Cooperative Extension.
Each month, we will offer a story lead contest right here in Connect Extension in the new Farm Journal Monthly Story Lead Contest group. Monthly winners, along with their Extension Directors and Administrators, will have the chance to work with Farm Journal to further develop their story and have it published in Farm Journal media.
Submissions for the contest are simply story leads, not full narratives. Farm Journal staff will review all submissions. Topic areas for story leads will change for each monthly contest.
Please join the Farm Journal Monthly Story Lead Contest group in Connect Extension to submit your story. It's fast and easy to do, and available to all Cooperative Extension professionals!
The topic area for the May 2020 contest is about the important work you're doing to help farmers and rural communities create, conserve, or otherwise manage wildlife habitat. Click here to learn more about the format, and details about how to submit your story lead in Connect Extension!
