Excellence in Journalism awards – Entries Closed

August 5, 2010 in Awards by Liz Enochs | Comments closed

ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED for SPJ Norcal’s 25th Annual Excellence in Journalism Awards competition.

Know a deserving journalist who soldiers on through cutbacks to tell the truth?  To get the story, photo or video? Whose dedication to our craft is second to none? Or is that journalist you?

For the past 25 years, the Northern California Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists has selected from among the Bay Area’s best of the best for its acclaimed Excellence in Journalism Awards. This year, in honor of our 25th awards anniversary, we’ve tweaked the format and revamped some of the categories to capture the breadth of our industry and make for a truly compelling awards ceremony. We’ve kept our special “Economy” category and added two more special categories: “Health Care” and “Environment.”

These awards honor the journalists whose work best reflects the SPJ ideals of initiative, integrity, talent and compassion. We also are seeking nominees for six special Board of Directors Awards: Journalist of the Year, Career Achievement, Distinguished Service, Unsung Hero, Meritorious SPJ Service and the Silver Heart. More details can be found in our online and pdf entry forms. For online entries, click here. Or download the PDF. Entry deadline: Sept. 7. Best of luck!
