THE VARSITARIAN, the 97-year-old official student publication of the University of Santo Tomas, is now accepting entries from college- and university-level publications nationwide for the 11th UST National Campus Journalism Awards (UNCJA).
The decade-old campus journalism competition will recognize outstanding works in three categories: in-depth reporting, editorial writing, and feature writing.
Winning entries will receive a cash prize of P15,000 and a certificate.
Entries may tackle campus, local, or national issues, elaborating on their relevance to the campus community.
Eligible stories are those published in print or posted online from March 5 to Oct. 31, 2025.
Print articles must be submitted in PDF, while online stories that are screen-grabbed must be free of identifying marks and converted into a PDF.
Each campus publication may submit up to three entries per category.
The winners of the 11th UNCJA will be announced during the 27th Inkblots, the Varsitarian’s annual fellowship of campus journalists, in January 2026.
Submissions from tertiary campus publications across the Philippines may be sent through bit.ly/11thUNCJA
