A four-week paid placement is up for grabs at The Herald in Glasgow in its 12th annual Scottish Student Press Awards.
The winner of the student journalist of the year crown will benefit from a month working alongside The Herald's reporters while winners of the other seven categories will each receive £250.
This year the awards also welcome a new category for best new media for work which appears online.
Entries can include news, features, comment or debate with judges assessing how well material has been produced for a web audience.
The eight prize categories are:
Student Journalist of the Year
News Writer
Features Writer
Sports Writer
Photographer
Magazine
Newspaper
New Media
The awards are open to all students at Scottish higher or further education establishments and all work must have appeared in a student publication after May 1, 2007.
Students employed as journalists cannot submit cuttings that have been professionally edited.
The deadline for entries is April 28 and the winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in Glasgow on May 28.
