About

The Journalism Education Association (JEA) and the National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) offer various awards recognizing excellence in scholastic journalism. These competitions include the National Student Media Contests, held at national conventions, and national awards for design, photography, broadcast, writing, and online media. The awards are intended for students who have produced high-quality work in journalism, encompassing categories such as yearbook, newspaper, magazine, and digital platforms. Winning one of these prestigious awards provides significant national recognition and validates a student's skills in media creation, reporting, and visual communication. The competition is open to both individual student work and team efforts from high school media programs.
