About the A-Mark Awards
We’re excited to launch the A-Mark Awards to recognize and honor outstanding investigative journalism that reveals hidden truths, holds power to account, or drives public awareness or reform.
The award will reward ambitious, well-researched reporting that may expose a wrong, hold powerful individuals accountable, or explore a complex problem, issue, or subject.
Cash Prizes • Regional Recognition • Professional Impact
In addition to professional recognition, winners will receive monetary prizes and have their work prominently featured on our website. Select entries may also be used in promotional campaigns across our digital platforms and publications, shining a spotlight on your reporting far beyond your newsroom.
This contest is open to journalists based in New England whose primary medium is the written word, including reporters, columnists, and investigative journalists working in newspapers and online news sites.
This is your opportunity to inspire others, raise your profile, and be recognized for outstanding work.
Be Among the First Honorees
As part of the award’s inaugural year, winners will set the standard for what this honor represents—courageous, clear, and compelling journalism that makes a difference.
Submit your best work by July 11, 2025. Claim your place in New England journalism history.
All Publick Occurrences and First Amendment entries will automatically be entered for consideration in the A-Mark Awards.
Judging will take place in August. Winners will be notified in September.
All awards will be presented at the 2025 Fall Leadership Conference in Northampton, MA, on September 25-26, 2025, at the Hotel Northampton.
