Anyone in the world 25 years of age or younger.

The Young Creators Award is a subcategory of the Knight News Challenge. If you are 25-years-old or younger and you have an idea that fits the Knight News Challenge goals, you will automatically be part of the Young Creators category. Each year money has been specifically set aside for this award. The category is part of a worldwide effort to get young people more engaged in their communities through digital news and information.
