The Indiana Association of School Broadcasters (IASB) is an organization consisting of and supporting Indiana high schools and colleges to promote professional excellence and student recognition in the area of media education. IASB membership consists of secondary schools and post-secondary schools that offer academic, career technical education or extra-curricular programs related to electronic media.

​

Currently, 16 college members and more than 50 high schools and career and technical education centers belong to the  organization.  See the list.

IASB conducts several events each year.

Statewide Student Competitions (High School and College)

The longest running of these is the student competition - one for high schools and one for colleges. The competitions includes more than 40 categories. The top three student entries in each category are recognized with plaques or certificates.

​​

High School Conference and Awards Ceremony

The spring Conference is held each March in Indianapolis. More than 800 students from around the state attend educational workshops in the morning.  After lunch, the high school competition winners are recognized.

College Awards Luncheon

The college awards luncheon in March recognizes the IASB higher education competition winners. The event is commonly held in conjunction with the Indiana Broadcasters Association's spring career fair, which allows students to talk to Indiana radio and television stations about jobs and internships.
