2025 winners

The nation’s largest and oldest regional journalism has chosen winners for the 75th time.

See the 2025 winners here.

From each division, judges chose divisional winners – and other judges then chose the best entry overall. That’s our annual Green Eyeshade.

The 2025 winner is Blue Ridge Public Radio in Asheville, North Carolina, for Hell or High Water: BPR’s coverage of Hurricane Helene.

The Green Eyeshades will open again in January 2026. Every dollar of your entry fees after expenses is spent on journalists like you, for all kinds of training programs. The Green Eyeshade directors are volunteers, as are the professional judges from all over the country.
