Closed for entries

The nation’s largest and oldest regional journalism is closed for the 76th time.

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

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

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.
