Award for social justice journalism open

Journalists whose projects reflect a concern for social justice can apply for this award.
The Richard J. Margolis Award of Blue Mountain Center is given annually to a journalist or essayist who has combined humor and wisdom to address social issues.
The winner will receive a US$5,000 prize, along with a one-month residency at Blue Mountain Center, a writers and artists colony in Blue Mountain Lake, N.Y.
The award was created in honor of Richard J. Margolis, a journalist, essayist and poet who brought light to hardships faced by subgroups including migrant farm workers, the elderly and Native Americans.
Applications should include two examples of published or unpublished work, a short biography including a description of current and anticipated work, and a summary of what the applicant will work on while attending the Blue Mountain residency.
The deadline is July 1.
