Every year the Society of Professional Journalists honors top student journalism with Mark of Excellence Awards.

From SPJ’s website:

The awards offer categories for print, radio, television and online collegiate journalism. Entries are first judged on the regional level. First place regional winners advance to the national competition and are recognized at SPJ spring conferences. National winners will be showcased on spj.org.
