Courage in Student Journalism Awards
The Newseum, the museum of news being planned for Washington, D.C., the Student Press Law Center and the National Scholastic Press Association are cosponsors of the Courage in Student Journalism Awards.
The two $5,000 awards recognize a middle school or high school journalist and a media adviser or school administrator who have stood in support of the First Amendment. The student journalist and adviser or school administrator need not be from the same school.
* The first award is presented to a student journalist who has shown determination, despite difficulty or resistance, in lawfully exercising his or her First Amendment press rights.
* A second award is presented to a student media adviser or school administrator who has demonstrated support, under difficult circumstances, for the First Amendment press rights of his or her school's student media.
To enter: To nominate yourself or someone else, submit a written description (not to exceed 600 words) on how the nominee's circumstances meet the entry criteria, along with any relevant supporting materials or press clips and two letters of support. All support material should be copied onto 8 1/2" x 11" paper. Each entry should also include a 3x5 card with the name, address, phone number and e-mail address of the nominee.
Deadline for entries: Entries must be postmarked by June 30 for consideration for that year's award.
Presentation of awards: Awards are presented during a ceremony at the Journalism Education Association/National Scholastic Press Association fall convention. Travel and lodging for winners are provided by the Newseum.
