Helpful Hints

We prefer that all entries are submitted using the student’s Office 365 account. Students can locate their files in OneDrive. From there, click on the file’s three dots and choose the “Share” option. Students should choose the option “Anyone with link” and UNCHECK the allow editing box. This link should then be copied and pasted into the student’s online entry form at http://www.wcpsmediaexpo.com/.
