Miami (January 3, 2022)- The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) wishes a happy and successful year 2022 to all media and journalists, photographers, illustrators and cartoonists of the Americas and reminds them that the opportunity is open until January 30, 2022 to participate in the 14 categories of its annual Excellence in Journalism contest.

This year the Alejandro Miró Quesada Garland Award, sponsored by El Comercio, Lima, Peru, will be awarded in the Best Interview category instead of the Mobile Journalism category. On the other hand, the IAPA welcomes a new sponsor: Infobae.

Only those journalistic pieces effectively published during 2021 in print media, whether newspapers, weeklies, magazines, and in native digital media or online publications of radio and television stations, will be considered as contestants. The deadline for the receipt of applications is January 30, 2022.

A jury of the IAPA Awards Commission members will choose the winner in each category. The first prize in each category receives US$ 2,000. The award ceremony will occur in October 2022 during the 78th IAPA General Assembly.

Every year, the IAPA awards the Grand Prize for Press Freedom to a person or organization with significant achievements in favor of this cause.
