The time has come for you to start gathering work submissions for the 2012 NYABJ Awards. There have been many natural and manmade news events in the last year that have kept us all very busy. We would like for you to begin thinking about the stories you and your colleagues have done about these issues that affect the African Diaspora, here in New York or
around the world. Winners will be honored at the 2012 New York Association of Black Journalists Awards which will be held next March at City College.

Last year's winners, some of whom can be seen below, represented a broad spectrum of journalism excellence including first place finishes by Essence Magazine, CNN, The New York Times, The NY Amsterdam News, Bloomberg News, CNN and BET just to name a few.

The deadline for submissions this year will be Monday, October 31st.
