Sidney Hillman Foundation invites nominations for the 2024 Hillman Prizes

Since 1950, the Sidney Hillman Foundation has honored journalists, writers, and public figures who pursue investigative journalism and public policy in service of the common good. Sidney Hillman was the founding president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, a predecessor union of Workers United, SEIU. As an architect of the New Deal, Hillman fought to build a vibrant union movement extending beyond the shop floor to all aspects of working people’s lives.

The foundation invites nominations for the 2024 Hillman Prize. Prizes of $5,000 and a certificate will be awarded at the annual ceremony in New York City on May 7, 2024.

Prize categories include book (nonfiction), newspaper journalism (story, series, or multimedia; print or online), magazine journalism (longform; print or online), broadcast journalism (television, radio, or podcast; at least 20 minutes in total package length), and opinion and analysis journalism (commentary and analysis in any medium).

The contest is open to journalists and subjects globally, although work must have been intended for and be widely accessible to a United States audience. Self-nominations are allowed. No limit exists to the number of entries one outlet or publication may enter.
