Plan to join us at the Student Keystone Media Awards Event as we celebrate and recognize the best of student journalism in Pennsylvania, by presenting the 2026 Student Keystone Media Award winners.

This Awards Luncheon Event will be held on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at the Best Western Premier The Central Hotel & Conference Center, 800 E. Park Drive, Harrisburg, PA 17111.

• The event kicks off with a News Media College & Job Fair networking event beginning at 9:30 a.m. with colleges and news organizations including a “Student Scavenger Hunt for the Truth”.  Those that complete the scavenger hunt with correct answers will be entered in a drawing of an incredible prize to be drawn during the awards presentation. No purchase necessary to participate.
• A training session will run from 10:30 a.m.-11:45 a.m. Scavenger Hunt clues hidden here, too. Session details being finalized.
• Buffet luncheon begins at 11:45 a.m. followed by the awards presentation.
• Expected end time by 2 p.m.

The PNA Foundation covers the cost of the event for all Student Keystone Winners. A registration fee for any guests (advisers, school officials, family, friends, etc.) will be charged. PRE-REGISTRATION is required for ALL attendees. Pre-registration will ensure that the student winners will have their awards available at the event, and their names called during the presentation.

Check back late February for registration details.

The PNA Foundation will supply plaques to each first-place winner and certificates to each second place and honorable mention winner in attendance at the Student Keystone Media Awards Luncheon. Certificates for non-attendees will be available for pick up at the conclusion of the presentation.
