Journalists in New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah should start looking through their clips from the past year–and deciding which stories to submit to the annual Top of the Rockies journalism contest.
SPJ Colorado sponsors the contest, which goes live on Jan. 1. Visit spjcolorado.com to submit your stories before Jan. 31.
SPJ members, by the way, get one free entry–plus discounts on additional entries.
Last year, SPJ’s Rio Grande Chapter members had a strong showing among the finalists and winners. Let’s keep that up!
