The Harbinger Academy is thrilled to announce The Harbinger Prize 2024, a ground-breaking initiative designed to spotlight and support the journalistic talents of teenagers from around the globe.

This competition is a key component of our mission to foster a new generation of journalists, offering them a platform to influence and shape discourse on matters that are significant to their peers.

We are on the lookout to invite seven teenagers between the ages of 15–17 in pre-university education from across the world to join the Harbingers’ Magazine project for the 2024/25 academic year. Winners will be selected in each category, along with the overall winner of The Harbinger Prize 2024. However, students already enrolled with the Harbinger Academy cannot take part in this competition.

Writers, photographers, or creators, have the objective of crafting a story that is relevant and impactful to the magazine’s young global audience. They will be contributing to a platform created by teenagers, for teenagers, making their voices a vital part of a larger dialogue.

Being the learning environment of our school, 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 the youngest of adults. It focuses on topics that matter to its global teenage audience, making every pitch, article, and podcast episode a reflection of the issues that resonate with them.
