Education Initiative - Student Television Award of Excellence

The TV Academy created the Student Award of Excellence to honor outstanding television journalism by high school students in 2003.

In 2010, the competition will be regional only.  See the 2010 High School Student Rules Book and Entry form (doc format) or the 2010 High School Student Rules Book and Entry Form (pdf format) for more information.  Deadline for submissions is March 10, 2010.

The Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences invites all high school students in our region to submit examples of your best work in television broadcast, cablecast and webcast production.

Award categories include News, Arts & Entertainment/Documentary, Public Affairs/Community Service/Public Service, Sports, Technical Achievement, and Writing.

Student Television is a program that promotes, encourages and supports journalistic skills among students. It is designed to expose young journalism enthusiasts to the substantive and ethical aspects of television news.  In the past, students from around the country were recognized for merit in television journalism through the bestowing of the Student Award of Excellence, to be done annually in June.
