The first awards are from the prestigious national BEA Festival of Media Arts run by the Broadcast Education Association.  As the largest competition for Mass Comm students in the nation, over 1100 pieces were entered with acceptance rates at 20% or less.  OU had the most winners ever this year.  In fact, OU ranked 3rd in the nation for total number of winners. The awards will be given at the national BEA convention/NAB show in Las Vegas April 6-9.

 

The Oklahoma Broadcast Education Association (OBEA) runs the largest state wide media competition in the country.  OU captured more than a quarter of all the awards out of 220 entries from 15 schools.  All the entries were judged and ranked by a series of professionals.  The top three place will be awarded at a ceremony Thursday, March 27th at the Skirvin Hotel in Oklahoma City.
