The National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) will honor exceptional journalism achievement through the NAHJ Journalism Awards and honor individual journalists through its prestigious ñ Awards.

We invite you to enter the NAHJ Journalism Awards and nominate Latino journalists for our ñ Awards to show your commitment to increasing the awareness of Latino issues and bringing attention to the growing Latino community. These awards will be presented at the 23rd Annual Noche de Triunfos Journalism Awards Gala in Washington, D.C. on September 12, 2008 at the start of Hispanic Heritage Month. Celebrate and reward journalism with NAHJ and bring recognition to your news organization while emphasizing your commitment to diversity.
