Welcome to the 2022 Student Journalism Challenge: Your Education, Your Future

This contest closed on December 2, 2022. Explore student stories here.

How is school preparing you for your future? What’s working? What could be done differently? How is education adapting to our changing world? What do you want from your education that doesn’t currently exist?

The challenge is for students ages 13-18 to use curiosity and critical thinking to reflect on the education you’ve had and the opportunities you want for future generations. Individuals or teams can submit ORIGINAL text, audio, or video pieces that respond to the theme of “My education, my future.” This contest is now closed - the deadline for entries was Friday, December 2, 2022.
