Reporters and Writers
Please submit three copies of three articles with publication date and place noted.
Please don’t send books or chapters of books.
Parts of series counts as one article, so it may be wise to choose only one part of a series and submit two other, unrelated articles in order to show diversity of topics.
Note: Please do not submit any more than three articles. The judges will see only three and they’d rather you make the selection. The content of the articles, rather than date or place or publication, is most important.
