The 45th High School Journalism Awards are Now Open!
The Las Vegas Review-Journal High School Journalism Awards recognize student achievements in high school news coverage. The Review-Journal’s newsroom judges the contest, which was created to encourage high school students who show an interest in journalism to develop media skills in college and, ultimately, in a professional news organization.
The Review-Journal’s High School Journalism Awards program is in its 45th year, with 25 editorial categories in reporting, design, photography, video, social media and overall excellence.
The High School Journalism Awards are open to any high school in Clark County — public, private or charter. All entries must have been published or streamed during the 2023-24 academic year.
Entries must be submitted by March 29, 2024, and a video presentation of the awards will take place sometime in May.
