Last year, 132 students from 12 publications at nine high schools submitted 248 entries in 12 categories. Here’s a link to a list of last year’s winners.
In addition to the contest, the Press Club also hosts an annual boot camp for student journalists in the fall. The camp is an opportunity for students to learn from professionals and receive critiques of their work.
