Livingston Awards 2021

Applications are now open for Livingston Awards for fall 2021. The Livingston Awards for Young Journalists were established in 1981 to recognize outstanding reporting and bolster the careers of journalists under the age of 35.

The Livingston Awards invites print, online, video, audio and data visualization entries. Each year, prizes of $10,000 each are presented in local, national and international reporting. Winners are selected by a panel of judges, who share a long-time commitment to our program and are highly respected for their achievements in journalism.

Winning the award helps talented young reporters develop the confidence and the institutional backing to continue producing ambitious projects. National recognition leads winners to new stories, new audiences and new career opportunities.

In addition, the Richard M. Clurman Award honours superb on-the-job mentors who improve journalism by exemplifying excellence in nurturing, critiquing and inspiring young journalists. The Clurman Award is presented alongside the annual Livingston Awards winners.

Awards are traditionally presented at a luncheon event in New York City. Leading media figures and the winners’ families and colleagues attend to honor the winners and acknowledge their role in the future of American journalism. This year’s Livingston Award winners were introduced in a video tribute.
