For our 15th Annual Summer Reading Contest, we invite students ages 13 to 19 from anywhere in the world to tell us what go their attention in The New York Times and why.
Students can submit their responses as a 1,500-character comment or a 90-second video. If you would like to make a video submission, please use the form below. You must provide a parent or guardian’s contact information and permission to enter.
Students can submit up to one entry each week during the 10-week contest, from June 7 to Aug. 16.
Requirements for video responses
-
Use a phone to shoot your video vertically (so it looks like the videos you might see on TikTok or Instagram Reels).
-
Your video must be 90 seconds or fewer.
-
Please be sure to say or show the headline of the Times piece you are discussing.
-
Your video MAY NOT use any images, video clips, music or sound effects, other than those that appear in the Times piece you are discussing or what you create yourself. We cannot publish your video if it uses any copyrighted images or sounds — including TikTok sounds.
