Applications Now open for The 2025 BrodskY Prize
All New Hampshire public, charter, and parochial high school students are eligible for the $5,000 Brodsky Prize that Jeffrey Brodsky hopes will encourage out-of-the-box efforts and innovation by a new generation of student journalists.
The Brodsky Prize was established seven years ago by the late Jeffrey Brodsky and his father, Howard, to encourage innovation by student journalists. Judging criteria include a student's journalistic initiative and enterprise, as well as what Jeffrey Brodsky called "a contrarian nature and out-of-the-box thinking."
The deadline for applications is April 28, 2025, at midnight.
