Karen,
That's a really good question. I would recommend contacting the coordinators to be sure, but it look like they may have selected all the partners for 2009.
I did see this on the
FAQ that there are still ways to get your school involved:
If becoming a regional partner is too much of a commitment for us, are there other ways to be involved in the contest?There are lots of ways to be involved in the contest. First, we plan to offer taping sites. These sites simply choose one or more days and times to offer digital videotaping. To add your taping time to a national list of taping locations, email fbrautigam@gailborden.info. Second, link to the contest site from your library’s homepage or write about it in your blog. You are also welcome to release contest information through any of your traditional outlets, including your library newsletter or other publications or to print out downloadable flyers or posters. As the 2009 contest develops, additional opportunities may become available, so check the website at www.storytubes.info now and then for additional information.
