THE JHM AWARDS

Every year, CUP holds the John H. McDonald Awards for Excellence in Student Journalism. Nominations for 2027 awards open Nov. 16, 2026 and close Nov. 27, 2026.

Better known as the JHMs, these prestigious awards recognize the very best in student journalism across the country.  

Nominations are open to all student journalists, regardless of CUP member status. 

 

CUP members receive two free submissions per category, and pay a sliding scale fee for one subsequent submission after. Member papers cannot submit more than three submissions per category, and some categories are exclusive to CUP members.

 

Papers will be invoiced seven days after submission for any additional entries by treasurer@cup.ca.

​

Invoices not paid 21 days after the submission was made will result in disqualification.
