The Native American Journalists Association presents annually the NAJA Media Awards, a unique competition celebrating the quality and professional work done by Native journalists. General media awards are for Native-owned media or those at least 50 percent Native-owned, managed or controlled. Individual entrants must be voting members of NAJA, except in categories specifically aimed at non-Native individual journalists. In those cases, non-Native entrants must be associate members of NAJA. Open to journalists throughout the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Entries must have been published or broadcast between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31. Contest rules, entry form and media categories (including environmental journalism) are available at the web link provided. Deadline: March 15, 2013.
