The Palm Beach Post Gannett Contest 2025 is an annual contest that invites students to submit essays, artwork, and other projects that explore issues related to journalism, media, and the First Amendment. The contest has been held since 1994 and is open to students in grades 6-12 from Palm Beach County, Florida.
The contest is named after the late Al Neuharth, who was the founder and former chairman of Gannett. Neuharth was a strong advocate for freedom of the press and believed that it was important to educate young people about the role of journalism in a democracy.
