PA Media and Design Competition (MaDCom)
Please carefully read the information below about the PA Media and Design Competition.
The competition date is scheduled for Tuesday, March 14th starting at 8:30 am at Keystone College. We need to have at least 25 teams to compete in person, and right now we have 4 teams. It is very important that you fill out all of your teams' requested information in two places.
The first sign up in is the intent to participate form so we have a head count of students and advisors that we will expect for the day if in person. Lunch is provided so please be accurate, so we have an accurate count for Keystone's Dinning Services.
