Welcome to the Shine School Media Awards!
The Shine School Media Awards is a free national competition that rewards a diversity of talent from secondary schools across the UK who work on the writing, editing, design and fund-raising for a school newspaper, magazine, podcast or website.
The annual culmination of each year’s Shine Awards is a gala ceremony held in central London every summer with student workshops and incredible guest speakers.
The significant benefits of starting a Shine project include an enrichment of the school curriculum, an incentive to creativity and the chance for pupils to win national recognition and in the process enrich their CV and applications for university or college.
The Shine Awards is an endeavour of The Stationers’ Foundation, the charitable arm of The Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers, one of the UK’s ancient livery companies.

Young mind: Shine winner Alex Mortimer inspires a new generation
At the Shine Awards 2021, the recipient of the Terry Mansfield MBE Award for Tomorrow’s Talent was Alex Mortimer from Ibstock Place School, who won for her magazine ‘Young Minds’ which focussed on mental health.
This year, we invited Alex to return and address the ceremony and give out this year’s award.
Alex’s speech was inspiring and moving in equal measure. Read what she said…
Our entrants speak...
“Being part of Shine was a wonderful experience for our students. It gave them a tremendous sense of recognition and the final event in London surpassed anything I have ever attended of this type.
“I can certainly recommend the process to anybody interested in promoting media work in their school or college.”
Chris Green, The Perse School
