The San Francisco Peninsula Press Club is now accepting entries for its annual Greater Bay Area Journalism Contest. Here’s a link to the Call for Entries that has all the contest categories and rules.

All entries are to be submitted online, and the Call for Entries explains how that is done. The deadline is Wednesday, Feb. 29.

The contest is open to all print, broadcast and electronic media and public relations professionals working or residing in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano or
Sonoma counties.

Entries must have been originally published, broadcast or released on broadband between Jan. 1 and December 31, 2011, inclusive.

Entries will be judged by a press club or Society of Professional Journalists chapters outside the San Francisco Bay Area. No San Francisco Peninsula Press Club member will be involved in the judging.

The Press Club is trying to get more entries from public relations professionals. For the PR folks there are two new categories this year — annual reports and best use of Twitter.
