Time to get entries of your best work from 2016 ready to enter NPC journalism contest

Please offer your best work for 2016 for consideration in the National Press Club’s national journalism contest this year.

Now is the time for journalists to look for their best work and prepare their entries for the journalism contest. The deadline is April 1. Details on the different awards categories and how to enter the contest can be found here.

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

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

Entrants are encouraged to use the online entry method, but if you prefer, the Club will accept entries mailed in the traditional way as long as they are postmarked before the deadline. No matter which method, the most important thing is to make sure and enter your best journalism.

The NPC awards are intended to recognize the best in both traditional and newer forms of journalism. The competition offers journalists a chance to have their work recognized by the Club, one of the leading journalism organizations in the country for more than a century.
