- This Student Affiliate activity is for grades 1-Post 12.
- There is no theory requirement for this competition.
- Any number of articles may be submitted. Teachers entering more than one student are urged to have students write on different topics, if possible.
- The topics are purposefully broad to allow the student journalist freedom of perspective.
- The articles should be written so that others of the same age will be able to read them.
