It’s time again for the Press Club of Long Island’s Annual Media Awards Competition, recognizing outstanding work in print, broadcast and online journalism in 2013.
The competition was reorganized in 2013 with new divisions and categories. All entries again will be submitted online at BetterBNC.com
With many media and journalists now producing work on multiple media platforms, after many years under the old format all the divisions were reorganized last year. There are seven divisions again this year: Narrative, Video, Radio, Visual, Social Media, Student Journalism, and Special Awards and Scholarships. Each division includes categories organized by topic.
Descriptions of divisions:
Panels of judges from other regions will choose the winners, except the Special Awards and Scholarships, which will be judged by the PCLI board.
