Student Achievement Awards

2025 Provincial OSSTF Student Achievement Awards

The OSSTF Student Achievement Awards is a writing and creative arts competition, which is open to all public secondary school students in Ontario. The competition is meant to encourage the intellectual development of our students and an interest in society.

OSSTF/FEESO invites student writers and artists to submit creative work exploring this year’s theme: Is Anyone Out There?. Judging will be held at the school, district, regional and provincial levels. Eight provincial winners will be awarded $1000 each in prizes and will be invited to our Annual General Meeting in March, where a video showcasing their work will be screened.

Schools must submit their winning entries to local district offices no later than November 15, 2024. Remember that student work must first go to your local district office, not directly to provincial office. District offices will then submit their winning pieces to the provincial office by December 6, 2024. Finally, provincial winners will be acknowledged and celebrated at our OSSTF/FEESO Annual Meeting of the Provincial Assembly (AMPA) in March 2025.

Guidelines, entry forms and helpful tips for students and supporting staff Members for the Student Achievement Awards are available online at the provincial OSSTF website here.
