The Hearst Journalism Awards Program

gram awards scholarships to students for outstanding performance in college-level journalism, with
matching grants to the students’ schools. The 57th annual program offering up to $500,000 in awards,
consists of five monthly writing competitions, two photojournalism competitions, one radio competi-
tion, two television competitions, and four multimedia competitions – with championship finals in all
divisions.
Participation in the program is open to undergraduate journalism majors currently enrolled in
ACEJMC – accredited domestic universities. An exception to the journalism major rule is made for
students entering the photojournalism competitions. Entrants must be actively involved in campus
media and must have published articles, photographs or produced newscasts or multimedia pieces that
can be submitted in our writing, photojournalism, broadcast news and/or multimedia competitions.
The William Randolph Hearst Foundation was established by its namesake, publisher William
Randolph Hearst, in 1948 under California non-profit laws, exclusively for educational and charitable
purposes. Since then, The Hearst Foundations have contributed more than one billion dollars in the
areas of education, health care, social services, and the arts throughout the country.
