New York Times Student Contests
Editorial, review, podcast and STEM-writing contests year-round — publishable, low-barrier.
- Humanities & Social Sciences
- Arts & Design
- Natural Sciences
- Business & Economics
- Medicine & Health
- Who can enter
- Ages 13–19 worldwide — free to enter
- What it costs
- Free — the student contests have no entry fee. A Times subscription is not required to enter.
- When it closes
- We could not confirm this year's date against the organiser's own page, so we are not showing a countdown for it. Last published: A different contest runs almost every month of the school year.
Sending this to someone sends the four facts above, not just a name — they will see who can enter and what it costs before they decide.
