2024 SEJ Awards Volunteer Form |
SEJ Awards seeking judges, back-up judges and screeners.
We're changing the schedule a bit, and this year screening for SEJ Awards begins around mid June. Any minute, actually! Screeners' deadline is July 31. That's a week or two longer than previous years, depending on when screeners get started.
Judging will begin for some categories in July and all judges should be starting by July 31. Judges' deadline for results is Sept. 10. We've built a little more time into the judging schedule as well.
The Pulliam Award recognizes the best piece and one honorable mention selected from the first-place winners of the SEJ awards. Judging begins as soon as first-place winners start to be selected by judges of the ten categories -- but it'll start no later than Sept. 11. Pulliam decisions are due Oct. 18.
SEJ is looks for 30 judges for SEJ categories each year -- three for each category -- and 18 screeners to work in teams of two. Several back-up judges are also needed.
If you're interested in volunteering, please complete this brief form to tell us which categories you'd prefer and which you need to avoid where there may be a conflict. If you need to take a pass this year -- or judging and screening isn't your thing, select one of the Take a Pass buttons.
