The competition is open to students aged 15 to 17 worldwide. We seek young people capable of exploring pressing issues through their unique perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around them.
As our academy’s learning environment, Harbingers’ Magazine is where students apply their journalism-related skills in real-world scenarios, crafting stories that speak to their generation. It’s a pioneering current affairs publication, entirely led and managed by teenagers. It focuses on topics that matter to its global teenage audience, making every pitch, article and podcast episode reflect the issues that resonate with them.
