Miami (November 13, 2020) - The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) is now accepting entries for its 2021 Excellence in Journalism Awards from news media professionals from North America, Latin America, the Caribbean and Spain.

"As always, we insist on the need of motivating the industry to upgrade its standards and strengthening journalistic values in all the content distribution platforms", said the president of the IAPA Awards Committee, Leonor Mulero, of Grupo Ferré Rangel, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

"In this edition, we are offering a highly improved registration form which makes it easier to participate and avoid common errors in the submissions," said Mulero.

Only articles published during 2020 in newspapers, weeklies, magazines or online qualify. The closing date for receipt of applications is January 30, 2021.

A jury comprised of members of the IAPA Awards Committee will choose the winner in each category. Winners will receive US$2,000 (two thousand dollars). The awards ceremony will be held October 2021 during the 77th IAPA General Assembly.
