Since 1950, The Green Eyeshades have recognized the very best journalism in the southeastern United States – which now includes print, television, radio, and online.

Journalists in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

Southerners from the Society of Professional Journalists host The Green Eyeshade contest. Every dollar stays in the South, where it’s spent on SPJ programs.
