Announcing the 2019 SPJ Northwest Excellence in Journalism Contest

Journalists in Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho and Montana: Now is the time to enter your best 2019 work in the SPJ Region 10 contest.

This competition is one of the largest of its kind in the nation and honors journalists across SPJ Region 10.

All proceeds from this contest support the efforts of SPJ Western Washington Professional and SPJ Oregon Territory Chapters. Among other things, Washington contest proceeds fund scholarships for student journalists, and in Oregon, proceeds help pay for our lobbyist, who works on our behalf in Salem to improve public records law, as well as for grants to help journalists get those public records.

We have an all new contest website as well as new categories, including housing and homelessness. Due to popular demand, we have brought back the headline writing category. Head over to the contest site to enter here and check out the categories here.
