CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS – Master of Science graduation award.

The Richard J. Blood Award For Excellence in Reporting

DEADLINE: Noon, Friday, April 18

Seeking an unpublished investigative, hard-news or news feature story of
publishable quality. Please, no profiles.

*       Submit one article of no more than 1,500 words. Please double-space
entries, and note the word count alongside the headline.
*       A winning entry will overflow with voices, specifics and solid
attribution. Less is more: Leave in only the details that move the story
forward. Make your copy lean, your prose sing and soar.
*       Particular attention will be given to rigorously reported stories
that have the potential to improve social conditions – stories that alert
the community to a danger, explain human behavior, entertain, inform and
educate.
*       You are strongly encouraged to review the article with your
instructor, incorporate any reporting/editing suggestions and rewrite it
before submission.

The award is $500

Please complete this formhttp://fs8.formsite.com/cjdos/Blood/and attach
