SPJ Invites Nominations for First Amendment Award

The Society of Professional Journalists is seeking nominations for its 2017 Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award.

The annual award honors an individual, group of individuals, or organization that has fought to protect and preserve one or more of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment with a $10,000 cash prize and an engraved crystal. The honoree(s) also will receive lodging (two-night hotel stay) and transportation (airfare) to the society’s national convention.

Nominations are open to any person, persons, or organization in the U.S. or its territories that has worked to protect the basic rights provided by the First Amendment. Honorees do not have to be journalists, and the society encourages recognition of those outside the journalism profession for their First Amendment efforts and initiatives, including but not limited to public officials, members of the legal profession, scholars, educators, librarians, students, and ordinary citizens. Nominations may be made by anyone.

For complete program guidelines, information about previous winners, and nomination instructions, see the SPJ website.

DEADLINE: JUNE 22, 2017
