The New York Times Summer Reading Contest is known for its high level of competition, with over 1,000 participants worldwide in one week alone. The probability of winning is only 2.38%, making their achievement even more impressive. Winning prizes in such a competitive competition is a remarkable accomplishment, and we are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication to their craft.
About the New York Times Summer Reading Contest
Since 2010, the New York Times has held a summer reading competition for middle and high school students worldwide every summer. So far, more than 80,000 students have participated. The New York Times Summer Reading Contest invites students to choose something that has sparked their interest in The Times. At the end of every week, judges from the Times newsroom pick their favorite responses, and the winner’s work will be published in The NY Times. Responses must be 1,500 characters or fewer.
Competition Schedule: Before the end of the competition (August), participants can choose any article, essay, video, interaction, podcast, or photo published in the New York Times in 2022 to analyze, write about, and submit to the competition. Every Friday from early June, NY Times will post a fresh version of this question: “What got your attention in The Times this week?” for students to respond accordingly until the following Friday.
Judges: The Learning Network staff, a team of as-yet-to-be-named New York Times journalists, and some educators nationwide.
Prizes: Chosen works will be published on The Learning Network
