2020 STUDENT LABOR JOURNALISM AWARD
The New York Metro Labor Communications Council is offering a $500 prize for work by undergraduate and graduate students on the theme:
“The 2020 Elections and My Life/My Community”
The country is about to elect a president in November; additional state and local elections will take place. How will this impact your life and/or the life of your community/communities? What issues are most important to you and are candidates talking about them? You are encouraged to write or make a short video or audio recording about the impact of these elections on you—as a student, a worker, and that of your family or community.
The prize is given to the student whose work touches our emotions and/or brings insight to this issue. The prize will be awarded for a written article of approximately 1,200 words, or for a video or audio report of 2-6 minutes in length. The topic is wide open for you to explore.
Application Deadline: May 4
Please include your name and the school you are attending. Students do not need to be journalism majors.
