SATW FOUNDATION
LOWELL THOMAS TRAVEL JOURNALISM COMPETITION
25 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 over $20,000 annually in prize money for outstanding work in print and on the Internet. 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 2009 competition are due April 3, 2009.
