Every great broadcaster, journalist, podcaster, presenter, producer, content creator and esports caster starts somewhere.

For some, it's a student radio station. For others, it's a television studio, a podcast recorded on campus, or a social media campaign created as part of an assignment. Wherever that journey begins, one thing remains true: the best opportunities come when your work is seen.

That's why the International Student Broadcasting Championship (ISBC) exists.

Where Opportunity Begins

ISBC is a global platform that recognises, develops and connects the next generation of media professionals.

Each year, students from around the world submit their strongest work to be judged by an international panel of experienced media professionals. Across radio, podcasting, journalism, television, digital content, sports broadcasting, esports casting and more, ISBC celebrates creativity, technical excellence and storytelling at every stage of a student's journey.

Whether you're creating your very first piece of content or leading a student station, there is a place for you.

A Platform Built for Every Student

You don't need years of experience to enter ISBC.

Many of our finalists and winners began by simply putting their work forward. Along the way, they gained valuable industry feedback, built confidence, expanded their portfolios, and connected with professionals who understood their potential.

For first-year students, ISBC is an opportunity to challenge yourself and see what's possible.

For final-year students, it's a chance to benchmark your work against the very best in student media from around the world.

For universities and student stations, it's an opportunity to showcase the incredible talent being developed within your institution.

Join a Global Community

ISBC brings together thousands of students, educators, broadcasters and industry professionals who share one goal: advancing the future of media.

It's where ideas are shared, careers begin, friendships are formed, and exceptional work receives the recognition it deserves.

From local campus stations to international award winners, every participant contributes to a global community that believes in the power of student media.
