Shine 2019: our shortlisted schools

Following judging day on Monday 20th May, we’re delighted to announced the list of schools who are shortlisted for the 2019 Shine School Media Awards.

The judges and committee were overwhelmed by the standard of entries this year. As ever the themes tackled journalistically chimed with the topics at the cutting edge of the national and international news agenda.

Creatively the photography, illustration and use of new media on show in 2019 offered us extraordinary levels of innovation.

Additionally, the stories we’ve heard of leadership, learning or personal barriers overcome – all by determination and sheer hard work – were truly inspiring.

We’re now looking forward to welcoming our shortlisted schools to Stationers Hall on Monday 1st July for this year’s awards.
