Entries for the 2020 Newsbrief Awards are now closed.

Since 2009, we’ve been celebrating achievement in brief science writing and multimedia with the DCSWA Newsbrief Awards.  

DCSWA accepts entries in two categories: writing (primarily written text), and multimedia (primarily audio, video, photos, infographics, or a combination thereof). Members of DCSWA can enter their own work, or others can nominate it, via the entry form. Entries will be judged by a panel of science writers and media professionals selected by the DCSWA board. The winner in each category will receive a prize of $300. Honorable mention certificates will be awarded at the judging panel’s discretion.

Speaking of judges, if you’re interested in serving as a judge for either the writing or multimedia panels, please email us at newsbriefaward@gmail.com. Thank you for your participation!
