Entries are open for the Student Journalism Awards 2006, the event that celebrates the work of the next generation of editorial talent in print, broadcasting and online.
The awards, now in their fifth year, are open to people who are studying — or have been during the past 12 months — to be journalists of any discipline and at any level of academic qualification.
Supported by national lottery operator Camelot, the event looks for the best journalists in nine categories — news writer, feature writer, interviewer, scoop, online journalist, radio journalist, television journalist, photographer and team. The winner of each wins £500.
An overall student journalist of the year will be selected from the winners of the individual categories.
