WNJR is holding a campus-wide Jingle Contest. A jingle is a short song or tune played on the air as part of a radio station’s branding.* Jingles can be a cappella or set to music, and feature a wide range of vocal and instrumentation styles. Content creators from all majors are encouraged to participate!
