1 Runners-Up
2 Honorable Mentions

Our first-ever Profile Contest asked a lot of its teenage participants. Not only did they have to find someone interesting to interview, then develop questions designed to draw that person out, but they had to edit the resulting conversation into a cogent and compelling Q. and A. of no more than 700 words. In addition, they were asked to take at least one “environmental portrait” of their subject and supply a caption for it, as well as write a headline for their piece.

But over 1,400 teenagers around the world tried it, and — at least according to those who filled out an optional comment section at the bottom of the submission form — most of them had fun. Several noted that profile writing was a different kind of writing from what they are usually assigned in school, so the novelty alone was refreshing. Many also said that, after two years of pandemic isolation, the push to talk to new people in their communities was welcome. As one student explained, “I had so much fun doing this that I cannot express it here. I think that human interaction is precious and is slipping away in the digital age, so the fact that there was an opportunity for me to have a conversation with an old person about their past and have someone actually be interested in it is exciting.”

Below, we are delighted to announce our finalists and introduce you to the fascinating people profiled by our Top 10 winners. And though we don’t have room to publish the work of our 11 runners-up and 38 honorable mentions, we hope that, just from reading their headlines, you sense the imaginative variety of the subjects they chose.

Thank you to the teachers and students who took a chance and tried this new challenge. We loved meeting the people you profiled and seeing their accomplishments through your eyes.
