Düsseldorf's Parks Department Highlights Outstanding Student Newspapers
The Rhineland savings banks, in partnership with ten regional daily newspapers, have announced the 44th annual school newspaper competition for students across North Rhine-Westphalia. The competition aims to find the most talented young editors in the region and offers prizes worth a total of 12,000 Euros.
Submissions for the competition are open until February 7, 2025. The competition is open for regularly published school newspapers and has categories for classes 5 to 13, elementary schools, special needs schools, and online newspapers.
The winners in the "Classes 5 to 13" category will receive a prize of their choice worth 2,000 Euros. Special prizes will also be awarded for particularly successful ideas such as outstanding focus topics or exceptional layout. However, it is not clear if the winners in this category will automatically progress to the federal states' school newspaper competition.
The federal states' school newspaper competition, on the other hand, does not seem to have specific categories or prize amounts mentioned. It is not specified if the competition is open only for regularly published school newspapers or if it has organizers other than the Düsseldorf city savings bank and ten regional daily newspapers.
The best entries in the three main categories will represent North Rhine-Westphalia in the federal states' school newspaper competition. The jury for the Rhineland-Sparbank student newspaper competition consists of university professors and experienced journalists, but it is not stated if the federal states' school newspaper competition has a similar jury.
The rules and registration form for the Rhineland savings banks' competition can be downloaded from the provided link. It is not mentioned if the prizes for the winners in the federal states' school newspaper competition are in addition to the 12,000 Euros offered in the Rhineland savings banks' competition. The search results do not provide information about the jurors of the federal states' school newspaper competition for 2025.
