DEADLINE: NASW Excellence in Institutional Writing Awards

The National Association of Science Writers established the Excellence in Institutional Writing Awards in 2018 to recognize high-caliber, publicly accessible science writing produced on behalf of an institution or other non-media organization. Cash prizes are awarded and entries are open to all and free for members.

Deadline to enter is Feb. 1, 2024. Works nominated must be written or produced in English, intended for the non-specialist, and first published or broadcast in North America in the previous calendar award. All NASW awards strive to showcase timely coverage and exemplary work, particularly those by underrepresented creatives tackling diverse, overlooked issues and communities. Judges especially consider diversity in topics, sources, audience, and authors to be a critical component of excellence.
