The Club is seeking entries for its newest award, the Nell Minow Award for Cultural Criticism, and the Rowse Award for exceptional media coverage, plus awards for creative online news journalism, animal rights coverage, the Gingras Award for humor writing and news photos. Other categories include coverage of issues specific to older people, foreign affairs, aviation and technology, newsletter journalism, Washington regional reporting and breaking news.

Most of the categories include cash prizes and some offer a year of free Club membership. Details on the categories and the prizes are found at the website below. The entry fee is $135 for non-members and free for Club members. The contest offers journalists a chance to have their work recognized by the Club, one of the leading journalism organizations in the country for more than a century.
