The 2003 Guardian Student Media Awards have been launched, with prizes such as work experience at the Guardian and Sky News up for grabs.

Now in its 25th year, the competition recognises the best student journalists, editors, designers and photographers.

The awards can help students launch a career in the media, and previous winners have included Heat editor Mark Frith, who will be one of the judges at this year’s competition.

Also on the judging panel will be Sun editor Rebekah Wade, Alexandra Shulman, editor of Vogue, Martin Bashir, Jonathan Ross, and Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger, along with a host of other journalists from the national press and broadcasting.

This year’s categories include:

  • Student Newspaper of the Year
  • Student Magazine of the Year
  • Student Reporter of the Year
  • Student Feature Writer of the Year
  • Student Photographer of the Year
  • Student Publication Design of the Year
  • Student Website of the Year
  • Student Critic of the Year
  • Small Budget Publication of the Year
  • Student Sports writer of the Year
  • Student Diversity Writer of the Year
  • Student Travel Writer of the Year
  • Student Columnist of the Year

    As well as choosing individual category winners, the judging panel will also select an overall winner who will have an extended six-week work placement at the Guardian and Guardian Unlimited.

    They will also receive a subsistence allowance of £1,000 for the duration of their placement and a pair of round Europe flights, courtesy of easyJet.

    The closing date for entries is July 18, and more details can be found at media.guardian.co.uk/studentmediaawards.
