SATW FOUNDATION
LOWELL THOMAS TRAVEL JOURNALISM COMPETITION
28 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 $18,000 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 North America in the field of 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. |
