In the U.S., students aged 11-25 may enter the Young Reporters for the Environment USA competition in one of three age categories, as individuals or as part of a class or group. Participants investigate an environmental issue and report on it using journalistic techniques in either writing, photography or videography.

There will be only one first-place winner across all age groups in the Photography category that will move on to the international competition.
