THE GUARDIAN: Student Media Awards 2009

The Guardian Student Media Awards 2009 have now launched!

The Guardian Student Media Awards have sought out the very best student writers, designers, broadcasters, editors and photographers for over 30 years.

And this year one of those people could be you.

Enter the 2009 Guardian Student Media Awards and soon you could be playing against real media heavyweights including the likes of Andrew Rawnsley, Rankin, Jonathan Freedland, Rachel Newsome and Emily Barr – all previous winners. Along with 100s of others, these guys were mere mortals like you before making it big in the media.

As well as choosing individual and category winners, our esteemed panel of judges will pick out one overall winner who displays particularly outstanding talent and promise. That person will undertake an extended six-week work placement at the Guardian and receive a subsistence allowance of £1,650.

The categories, instructions and application forms are all on this site.

Of course, to win the game, you've got to enter.

So fill out your application forms. Roll the dice. And let's play.
