Send your best examples of humor writing from 2016 to Club's journalism contest

For those with a deft touch at writing humor, the National Press Club offers the Angele Gingras Humor Award. The award is named for a longtime National Press Club member who was good at writing about the funny side of the news.

The award is given for a body of work from 2016. To apply please submit three examples of a humor feature or column that appeared in a general circulation newspaper or online journalism site. The winner will receive $750.

The deadline to submit entries is April 1; the contest is open to Press Club members and non-members. Offering entries is free for Club members and $50 for non-members. The winner will be honored at a banquet at the National Press Club this summer.

Entries may be submitted online or by the more traditional use of mail. For more information click here.
