The Korea Times is hosting the 2022 Student Reporter Contest, sponsored mainly by ETS Korea, running from June 27 to Aug. 15.
This competition is aimed to help students improve their English proficiency and have a journalistic experience to report on various issues in the medium of video.
It is the third year that the English media outlet, under the main sponsorship of the ETS, creator of the TOEFL iBT® test, has hosted the English video contest for students across the nation.
The competition is open to middle and high school students, undergraduates and graduates. Applicants can enter the contest either individually or in teams of up to three. Those attending schools in Korea can enter the competition, but students from countries using English as an official language are ineligible.
As for a topic, applicants can choose any issue or subject they regard as newsworthy ― whether it is a person, social issue or personal experience.
The video entries should be shorter than five minutes. Applicants should upload the video footage on YouTube by Aug. 15, and access https://url.kr/8c9n1r to submit the link along with the application form. The video file has no restrictions in format.
Applicants are required to appear as a reporter in the video for both individual and team entries.
The winners will be announced in August, and the awards ceremony will take place during September.
The winners will be given prize money and a plaque, awarded by The Korea Times, ETS Korea, Education New Zealand, Incheon Global Campus (IGC), the University of Utah Asia Campus and George Mason University Korea.
