COMPETITION OPPORTUNITIES...

The 45th Annual Hearst Awards

This is the 45th year of competitions, in which more than $500,000 in scholarships and grants will be awarded to students and schools.

The Hearst Journalism Awards Program is presented annually under the auspices of the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication (ASJMC) with full funding by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation. The program's mission is to encourage and support excellence in journalism and journalism education in America's colleges and universities.

There are six writing, three photojournalism, two radio and television broadcast news competitions each academic year.

The monthly competitions honor the top ten winners with awards ranging from $500 to $2,000, with the schools receiving matching grants. The competition year ends in June with the National Writing, Photojournalism and Broadcast News Championships, and is open to selected winning students from the monthly competitions who also receive additional awards.
