Scottish School Magazine Competition
Scottish School Magazines Competition – Guidelines The aim of the competition is to encourage pupils in every secondary school throughout Scotland to work in teams to produce their very own school magazine, newsletter, newspaper or online magazine. It is an opportunity for pupils to showcase their writing, editing, design, production, photographic and business skills and to highlight not only well-planned team work, but also individual flair and creativity. The project must be pupil-led with teachers taking a supervisory role only. Through the competition we aim to help pupils gain an insight into the exciting world of publishing and encourage school-leavers to consider the magazine industry as a career choice. We encourage pupils to work with other departments in the school, such as IT, English, Business Studies and Art – and we encourage them to engage with the wider community and involve local businesses and organisations in their project. The competition will help to improve literacy and communication skills and give pupils business awareness and confidence when starting out in their chosen career, whatever that may be. Winners 2008
