National Press Club Journalism Contest invites entries in newsletter category

The National Press Club’s annual journalism contest offers a chance to reward the best newsletter work from 2016.

The Club, a national leader among journalism organizations, encourages those who work for newsletters to enter the contest. The best newsletter journalism provides sharply focused coverage on specific topics of interest to the newsletter’s readers.

The entry deadline is April 1. Details on the different awards categories and how to enter the contest can be found by here.

Entrants are encouraged to enter online, but if you prefer, the Club will accept entries mailed in the traditional way as long as they are postmarked before the deadline. The cost for an entry is $50 and it is free for cCub members.

No matter how you enter, the most important thing is to make sure you submit your best journalism.

The awards will be presented at an annual awards dinner at the National Press Club this summer.

The contest includes awards for political reporting, regional reporting on Washington, international coverage, consumer reporting and online journalism. It also includes a group of awards for areas as diverse as reporting on the welfare of animals, coverage of the journalism industry, the aviation industry, problems facing the elderly and humor writing.
