The annual Student Contest Calendar for 2024-25 is back with ten exciting challenges for teenagers to showcase their creativity through various mediums like writing, photography, audio, video, and more. The contests are highly anticipated by teachers and students around the world, who participate in creating narratives, reviews, videos, opinion pieces, podcasts, illustrations, and photo essays.
The contests are not only a platform for teenagers to express themselves but also an opportunity for the organizers to learn from the youth about their passions, concerns, interests, and perspectives. The contests are a celebration of young voices and talents, making it a joy for the organizers to host.
This year’s calendar includes some popular contests from previous years as well as some new additions. In response to the U.S. election, there are special forums in September where teenagers can engage in thoughtful conversations about their civic and political identities, values, and beliefs. They can then choose to create something in response, whether it be in the form of writing, video, audio, or visual art. The spring contest, titled “My List,” is a unique twist on the traditional review contest where students can curate a collection of three to five works of art or culture and explain why others should explore them.
Although the full rules and guidelines for each contest will be posted when they open, interested participants can access related resources and last year’s rules for reference. The organizers appreciate everyone’s patience during the verification process for access to the contests.
Whether you are a student, educator, or subscriber, there are opportunities for everyone to engage with the contests and showcase their talents. Don’t miss out on this chance to be part of a global community of creative and thoughtful young minds.
