The entry period for the Press Club’s 32nd annual Greater Bay Area Journalism Awards has begun. You can download the entry form and rules here.

The contest is open to all journalists and public relations professionals in the Bay Area. The fee per entry for non-members is $55, but if you become a member for $35, then the entry fee is $15 — a $5 savings.

As always, the entries are judged by press clubs or Society of Professional Journalists chapters outside the Bay Area. No San Francisco Peninsula Press Club member will be involved in the judging.
Plaques for first, second and third place will be presented during an awards banquet in June.

Last year, the Press Club received 424 entries and presented 165 awards in 67 categories. Pictured above are three of last year’s winners, Julia Scott (left), Christine Morente and Neil Gonzales.

The deadline to enter is Feb. 26. For more information, e-mail Darryl Compton.
