About the Awards

Whether it’s with a pen, a microphone or a camera, you have a story to tell. And we want to hear it.  St. Thomas University is hosting the Atlantic Student Journalism Awards to recognize and encourage emerging young talent.

The competition is open to students attending Grades 11 and 12 at any high school in Atlantic Canada or New England.

The winning high school student will receive $1,500 in cash, and a $1,500 bursary if he or she enrolls at St. Thomas University. There will also be a second prize of $500 for the runner up.
