Shine news

Future visionaries and their impact on our lives clearly resonate with teenagers.

At this summer’s Shine School Media Awards, we asked our shortlisted students to select this year’s ‘designated topic’ award for the competition. This is where we set a subject and request entries specifically towards a special prize.

The winner by some distance – and our topic for 2025 is…

Hello everyone,

An exciting update this week to tell you about the industry work experience that Ruby, one of our 2024 Shine Award winners, had this summer.

The Shine School Media Awards has partnerships with some of the UK’s biggest media organisations who offer some of our winning students on-site work experience. It’s one more way in which we offer tomorrow’s talent a leg up in an ever-more competitive world.

It’s a new term and today we’re launching the Shine School Media Awards 2025.

Now in its 14th year, Shine is a competition that could help your students gain national recognition for their creativity.

Congratulations to everyone who came along to the Shine School Media Awards 2024 on Monday. It was a truly fantastic day, celebrating tomorrow’s talent – and this year’s awards were bigger and better than ever, particularly as we introduced our new ‘Scoop of the Year’ award.

Thank you to everyone who came and joined us and well done to all our winning and highly commended students.

Following our judging process, and ahead of the awards day on 1st July, here are the schools shortlisted for the Shine School Media Awards 2024.

Today is the last round-up and call for entries before we hit the deadline for the Shine School Media Awards 2024!

We’ve covered a lot of ground over the last six months, with the aim of helping your students build the best possible entry, and I hope it has been helpful. But now the time has come: it’s the moment to submit your entry. We can’t wait to see them!

We can’t wait to see them!
