The E.W. Scripps Company is a media enterprise that works tirelessly to stay ahead of consumers’ changing behaviors. Through innovation, Scripps is a leader in exploring new ways to create a better-informed world. Innovation is at the center of an endowment from the Scripps Howard Foundation to the Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University, and it is from this gift the Scripps International Innovators Cup launched in 2015.
The annual competition celebrates student innovation and rewards creativity and entrepreneurship as it is being implemented in communication and journalism school curricula and student clubs around the world. The competition year is launched during hackathons, startup weekends, classroom projects and campus competitions, with the winners competing for an international prize in the spring. The international competition can be traced to the Scripps Innovation Challenge, which has been offered to Ohio University students since the 2012-2013 academic year.
Established in 1953, the Scripps Howard Foundation's national journalism awards competition is open to news organizations based in the United States, and recognizes outstanding print, broadcast and online journalism in 15 categories. Two additional categories honor college journalism and mass communication educators for excellence in administration and teaching. The awards entry site opens in November and closes in February for judging. Winners are announced in March and share $180,000 in cash prizes.
