Hundreds of thousands of students from around the world have participated in our contests over the 13 years we’ve been running them, creating podcasts, writing editorials, making videos, reviewing arts and culture, composing narratives, investigating scientific phenomena, and more.

Teachers tell us they value these challenges because they invite students to take the skills they learn in school and use them to create for an authentic audience. Students tell us they like the variety of ways they can express themselves — and, of course, the confidence boost when they are recognized for their efforts. For us, these contests deepen our daily mission: to help teenagers engage with what’s happening in the world, and prove to them that their voices and ideas matter.

But every year we rethink our calendar to keep it fresh. We try to create a balance that responds to the needs of our audience, but also promotes a range of expression, appeals to a broad group of students, and draws inspiration from features across The Times.

That’s how we’ve arrived at the offerings we announce below, and we hope you’ll be as excited about them as we are. Here is what you need to know:

• Our fall lineup includes classics, like our Review Contest, as well as new opportunities, like the One-Pager Challenge. We’re also bringing back the Narrative and Coming of Age Contests, but with a few twists. Find more details below.
• Stay tuned for our spring offerings, which we will add to this page later this year.
• This year our contests are open only to middle and high schoolers who are 13-19 years old, but, as always, teenagers around the world are invited to participate.
• As each contest goes live, we will add a link on this page.
• For those contests that have run in the past, you can learn more now by clicking on the “Rules and Guidelines” for each, and taking a look at both the related unit and the work of previous student winners. For those that are new or have been updated, we will post related resources before the contest begins.

 

在纽约时报举办比赛的 13 年里，来自世界各地的数十万学生参加了各项比赛，主题包括创建播客、撰写社论、制作视频、评论艺术和文化、撰写故事、调查科学现象等等。

主办方纽约时报收到学校老师反馈说，他们重视这些挑战，因为他们邀请学生利用他们在学校学到的技能，并用这些技能为真正的观众来创作。学生们告诉纽约时报，他们喜欢各种表达自己的方式——当然，当他们的努力得到认可时，他们会增强信心。对主办方来说，这些比赛加深了我们的日常使命：帮助青少年参与世界上正在发生的事情，并告诉青少年他们的声音和想法很重要。

本周，纽约时报公布了 2022-23 学年第一学期的学生竞赛日历。秋季阵容包括经典竞赛项目如评论比赛，以及新的竞赛如一页纸挑战。比赛面向世界各地 13-19 岁的初中和高中生开放。

Coming of Age in 2022: An Image Contest for Teenagers

What can you show us that might help explain what it’s like to be a teenager right now?

We’ve been asking that question annually since the pandemic began, and the answers have been extraordinary. This year we’re again inviting teenagers to document, reflect and express themselves on any aspect, big or small, of what it’s like to grow up now — but this time we’re asking you to do it via images only.  

Students can submit photos, paintings, drawings, illustrations, comics, cartoons, graphics, screenshots or anything else that can be captured in a still image. Each image must be accompanied by a short artist’s statement. More details will publish soon, but until then take a look at the winning visual work from 2020 and 2021, as well as in this additional collection of teenage mentor texts.

 

青少年图片艺术大赛

时间：2022年10月12日-2022年11月16日

自大流行开始以来，我们每年都在问这个问题，答案非同寻常。 今年，再次邀请青少年记录、反思和表达自己在任何方面经历成长的感悟，无论大小，——但这次我们要求你仅通过图像来做到这一点。学生可以提交照片、绘画、素描、插图、漫画、卡通、图形、屏幕截图或任何其他可以在静止图像中捕获的内容。每张图片都必须附有简短的文字描述。

 

TOPCLASS将提供各类国际赛事的作品辅导，帮助学生提升作品质量，并在竞赛中获得奖项的机会！
