Newsbrief Award Competition Has Closed; Judging Begins
February 25 @ 3:53 pm
The deadline for submitting entries in the 2024 DCSWA Newsbrief Award competition has closed. Thanks to all of you who entered!
This will be the 16th annual Newsbrief Award to celebrate the best in short-form science writing during the past year. Entries will be judged by a panel of science writers and media professionals solely on the quality of the writing, regardless of format. The winner will receive a prize of $300. Honorable mention certificates will be awarded at the judging panel’s discretion.
We plan to announce the 2024 Newsbrief Award winner and any honorable mentions sometime in March, and then recognize the honorees in person at DCSWA Professional Development Day on May 3rd.
Special thanks to DCSWA Board Member and Secretary Leigh Anne Kelley for coordinating the Newsbrief Award judges committee, and to Newsbrief Award founders Christine Dell’Amore and Chelsea Wald for handling the logistics of this year’s competition, as they have since the first award in 2009.
