New for the 2025 competition, the Arthur E. Rowse Award for Excellence in Examining the News Media has increased its prize to $1,000 and expanded eligibility to include online, print, and broadcast journalism. The award recognizes work that critically examines the role and responsibility of the media in shaping public understanding and holding those in power accountable.

Starting this year, we have broadened the scope of eligible entries in our news photography category. News photos submitted to stock photo agencies and published for syndication, in addition to those appearing in traditional news media, are now eligible for consideration. This change reflects the evolving landscape of journalism and ensures a wider pool of talented photographers can showcase their work in our contest.

Some categories will feature cash prizes of up to $1,000 or a one-year complimentary membership at the National Press Club. Entries can be submitted by individual journalists or their employers. The awards include 15 categories covering a broad spectrum of journalistic excellence, from politics and breaking news to investigative reporting, multimedia journalism, and global affairs. A complete list of categories is available here.

Winners will be announced in June and celebrated at the 52nd Annual Journalism Awards Dinner on Wednesday, August 27 at the National Press Club. Purchase your tickets onlineand join us for this signature celebration of excellence in journalism.
