LOWELL THOMAS TRAVEL JOURNALISM COMPETITION
26 Years of Rewarding Journalists for Outstanding Work in the Field


The SATW Foundation sponsors the annual Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition. The competition began in 1985 and today awards more than $20,000 annually in prize money for outstanding print, online and multimedia works and for travel photography and both audio and video broadcast.  It is the premier competition in this field, like the Pulitzer Prizes for travel journalism. It has gained its stature for several reasons, most notably:

  • it does not promote any particular destination or travel product,
  • it is open to all North American journalists, not just SATW members, and
  • it is judged independently by the faculty at top U.S. schools of journalism.

Entries for the 2010 competition are due April 1, 2010.
