The Harbinger Prize 2023: Essay on Science

Submit an essay of up to 1,500 words on one of the subjects. Science covers maths, physics, biology, medicine, space exploration – you name it. Please keep in mind that we’re looking for a story searching for truth, so intellectual shortcuts, a lack of data and unsubstantiated claims may place your essay at a disadvantage.

We will select three winning articles, with prizes worth £4,500 in education in journalism. Across all the submission categories, we will also select the best work of the year, which will crown the winner with The Harbinger Prize and £10,000 in individual tuition from The Oxford School for the Future of Journalism.

The competition is open to all students in the last three years of pre-university education, regardless of their country of residence.

Students have until noon on August 15, 2023, to submit their articles.

Visit Harbingers’ Magazine for subject lines and all category descriptions.
