    The Ippies Awards

    Date & Time:
    From 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM on April 12, 2012

    The Ippies Awards are given to the ethnic and community press by the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. It is the only New York-area competition that recognizes excellence amongst journalists, photographers, graphic artists, editors, and publishers from the ethnic and community media.

    Since 2002, the awards program has served as a vehicle to honor outstanding work, to promote coalition building within this media sector, and to attract mainstream media attention. Judges are faculty and adjuncts at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, as well as professional journalists.

    There are 10 cash prizes for winners, who will be announced at the Ippies Awards dinner at the CUNY J-School on Apr. 12.

    The awards categories are:
    Best investigative/in-depth story ($1,500)
    Best article on immigration or social justice issue ($1,500)
    Best editorial/commentary ($750)
    Best overall design of print publication ($750)
    Best overall design of an online publication ($750)
    Best photo essay or online slide-show ($750)
    Best photograph ($750)
