Each year, the Connecticut chapter of SPJ recognizes the best in Connecticut journalism with its Excellence in Journalism Contest.
This year’s entries showcase the important, compelling, entertaining and compassionate work being done by journalists across the state. This contest also supports the mission of CT SPJ as our biggest fundraiser. We give out thousands of dollars in scholarships to journalism students in or from CT each year, and support other efforts, such as the Legal Defense Fund, CCFOI and CFOG.
We’re grateful to the many Connecticut journalists who volunteered to judge the Diamond Journalism Awards in exchange for the work of the judges from the Southeast who judged the Connecticut contest. We couldn’t pull off the contest without the people who judge our swap partner’s contest every year – thank you.
This year, we moved to a three-division format that grouped news organizations of similar size and scope, regardless of medium. For example, television and radio stations were grouped with the largest print and digital news organizations in the state. We welcome any questions or thoughts about this format – please email spjconnecticut@gmail.com.
Certificates will be available at the CT SPJ awards dinner on May 21, 2025. If not picked up then, they will be mailed to the winners’ newsrooms.
Find out more about the dinner, and buy a ticket, here.
