2024 Grand Prize: Travel to either Iceland or the Galápagos with Lindblad Expeditions to to see and report on the environment

Craft a compelling environmental narrative to publish on Planet Forward, submit it to Storyfest, and see how far your storytelling skills take you! And, new for this year’s competition, Media/Communications students will be judged separately from non-media/communications students in order to maintain an equal playing field. We encourage students from all backgrounds and fields of study to enter.

The deadline to submit your story is February 5, 2024 extended to Feb 12, and the winners will be announced at our annual Planet Forward Summit on April 18-19, 2024.

We will have six award categories for you to enter, but will recognize two extra students from any category for our Spotlight and Staff Pick awards, totaling eight student winners who will join us on an expedition next summer. Take a look at this year’s categories:

  • Best Short Video by a Media/Communications Student
  • Best Short Video by a NON-Media/Communications Student
  • Best Multimedia Story by a Media/Communications Student
  • Best Multimedia Story by a NON-Media/Communications Student
  • Best Writing by a Writing/Journalism Student
  • Best Writing by a NON-Writing/Journalism Student

Next summer, our Storyfest winners will be whisked away to either Iceland or the Galápagos with Planet Forward and Lindblad Expeditions for the storytelling journey of a lifetime.
