Registration

Military Reporters & Editors logo

Registrant: The registrant is the person entering on behalf of another person or self-submitting. There are no limits on the number of entries a registrant may submit on behalf of another. A maximum of four entries is permitted for those self-submitting.

Entrant: The entrant is the named journalist whose work is submitted to the contest – the journalist whose byline appears on the work – the person to whom an award is given.

Entry Number: The entry number is based on the number of entry submissions for the entrant – not to be confused with the registrant.

2025 MRE Journalism Contest Entry Process


There are three steps to complete an entry to the contest.

The first is creating a registrant account.

The second is registering an entry, along with payment.

The third step contains two-parts.

  • Part A is the actual entry submission.
  • Part B is the journalist biography.
  • Both parts are required for the first entry for an entrant.

Additional entries for the same entrant (entry 2-4)

  • Repeat Step 2 – the registration process – for each contest entry number.
  • Repeat Step 3 – select media type and corresponding entry number.
