Enter your funny writing now in the Press Club journalism contest

The National Press Club offers the Angele Gingras Humor Award for those with a talent for writing the humorous side of the news. Monday's extended deadline is fast approaching.

The award is named for a longtime Club member who was good at humor writing.

The award is given for work from 2017. 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 contest is open to both Club members, who can enter for free, and nonmembers, who must pay a $50 fee. The winner will be honored at a banquet this summer. If you have questions, email [email protected] or call 1-410-271-7020.

Entries may be submitted online or by mail.
