Shine news

John Cary, Head of Accreditation at the NCTJ (at the time of this post, he has subsequently left) gave us some feedback on the 2016 Feature Article category.

We are delighted to announce that the NCTJ will be offering some fantastic new prizes for Shine 2016.

Take the first step in your journalism training with a NCTJ Certificate in Foundation Journalism unit. The winner can choose 1 of 18 units depending on their area of interest.

Independent Women, or IW as it is affectionately known, is the school magazine of St George’s School for Girls, Edinburgh. This post focusses on hints and tips in the business and marketing category by Phoebe Haddon, Winning Sales and Marketing Director, 2015 and 2016.

Now graduated, Matty Davis was a photographer and journalist for TERM magazine, Tarporley Sixth Form College’s student publication. At the 2015 Shine Awards Matty was highly commended for his feature article and was named ‘Young Journalist Showing Exceptional Promise’.

Here he offers a back to basics guide helping you take award winning photos for your publication.

You’re getting started, or at least considering an entry in the Shine Awards.

But – what is it like to be there?

We’ve made a short film about Shine 2015 to inspire our new year of entries…

We are thrilled that Shine 2015 winner Annabelle Moss has written to us talking about her ‘Shine story’.

Annabelle was one of the winners of a ‘writing masterclass’ with Daily Telegraph journalist and Shine presenter Simon Heffer.
