The student who arrived speaking no English and became an editor
Back in June, Stationers’ Hall welcomed our most competitive field of Shine School Media Awards finalists yet. Journalists, editors, illustrators and podcasters, all under eighteen, all with a story to tell.
The day started with workshops, including cartoon drawing, bookbinding and two new hands-on sessions this year: metallic foiling and letterpress printing.
Then came the ceremony itself, with an Oscars-style reveal as each winner was announced, including the surprise unveiling of a brand new award, Best Humour, added after we noticed just how much wit and satire had come through in this year’s entries.
