New York -- The Association of Educational Publishers
(AEP), TIME magazine and TIME For Kids (TFK) have announced the
winners of the 2005 Student Publishing Awards. The winners have
been invited to accept their awards at AEP’s annual conference
in Washington, DC on June 7th, 2005 at the Renaissance Hotel. The
awards will be presented by Keith Garton, editorial director of
TIME For Kids and president of the board of directors of AEP.
The awards, established in 1998 by AEP and sponsored
by TIME and TIME For Kids Magazines, recognize excellence in student-written
and student-produced publishing in three categories: Elementary
School, Middle School and High School publications. Entries were
submitted from 42 states. This year, over 130 finalists were evaluated
from across the nation. The winners were selected by a judging panel
that included news professionals from TIME, TIME For Kids, timeforkids.com,
and CNN.
Over $12,000 in cash and materials are awarded this
year. National winners receive an on-site workshop from an editor
or art director from TIME or TIME For Kids for a day, as well as
$2,000 in cash plus educational materials. Regional winners receive
$250 in cash plus a variety of educational materials for their writing
curriculum.
“At TIME For Kids, we know that students have
a lot to say about the world we live in and the issues of our day.
The TIME/TFK Student Publishing Awards program encourages students
to strive for excellence in their publishing efforts and provides
a platform for national recognition,” said Garton. “Celebrating
good writing and reporting by kids is just one of the many ways
we give kids a voice.”
