第六届学生编辑大赛的获奖者：青少年告诉我们什么对他们最重要
我们2019年比赛的11位最高获奖者之一Isabel Hwang使用了这篇专栏文章，“这不是'混乱'。这是创造力“，作为她文章的来源。
总共有10，509篇论文，42名评委，五轮评审 - 总共讲述了大约4，700，000个学生写的单词。
这些是今年春天的比赛统计数据，自2014年开始以来，比赛每年都在增长。下面，我们将向 70 名青少年致敬——11 名获奖者、27 名亚军和 32 名荣誉奖——他们的文章一轮又一轮地闪耀着最耀眼的光芒。我们还喊出了另外50名几乎进入获胜者圈子的人，这在竞争如此激烈的比赛中可不是一件小事。您可以从 6 月 3 日开始在本专栏中阅读获奖者和亚军的作品，届时我们将在每个上学日发布三篇新作品。
这项挑战最好的一点是，它突出了青少年对影响他们生活的最现实问题的看法，从大学招生丑闻到气候变化，从社交媒体到性教育，从枪支到平均绩点，从投票到电子烟。
但我们也喜欢它向我们介绍新鲜想法的方式，包括今年需要吃更多的虫子，结束游戏中的有毒垃圾谈话，警惕“自我保健”趋势，并给予菠萝披萨至少一个学生认为应得的尊重。
在他们出版时，我们希望像我们一样，你会发现这些作品能吸引你的注意力，并坚持到最后。我们希望您会欣赏他们如何在短短 450 字内提出坚实而令人信服的论点，并且不是作为利弊的枯燥总结，而是用真实的声音。但大多数情况下，我们希望像我们每年所做的那样，你会学到新的东西。
无论您是学生、老师、家长还是仅仅是读者，请通过写信给我们 LNFeedback@nytimes.com 告诉我们您的想法。再次感谢你们的参与，使这次比赛年复一年地取得成功。

Students: We hope you’ll also join us for our 10th Annual Summer Reading Contest, any week or every week from June 14 to Aug. 23.
:
An earlier version of this article announced 12 top winners. Since then we have discovered that the essay “China Needs Freedom of Information” by Anonymous did not abide by our rules, which state that each writer must cite at least one New York Times source and at least one non-Times source. Because the writer used only Times sources, the essay has been disqualified.
