The National Schools Press Conference (NSPC) is the highest competition for journalism for both private and public elementary and secondary schools in the Philippines as per Republic Act 7079, also known as the Campus Journalism Act of 1991.^[1] The press conference includes both students from the elementary and secondary level and is usually held on the month of February (July in the post-pandemic years). The event usually lasts for 3 to 5 days.

The journalism contest begins with the Division School's Press Conference (DSPC), where the top three to fifteen in each category, depending on the size of the certain schools division, qualifies for the Regional School's Press Conference (RSPC), from which the top one will be chosen to represent their respective regions in the National School's Press Conference (NSPC). In larger divisions, the districts have the Area School's Press Conference (ASPC) before the DSPC.
