Excellence in Journalism Awards

#EIJ2022 to be a celebration under the stars in Balboa Park

After two years of celebrating virtually, the San Diego Press Club 49th Annual Excellence in Journalism Awards will be a celebration under the stars on the lawns of the International Houses in Balboa Park on Tuesday, October 25, 2022.

At this unique location, we will all meander among the charming cottages, savoring tastes from San Diego’s stellar restaurants and wineries. The evening promises warm reunions, shared congratulations, and this being a Press Club event, lots of fun and laughs. Just what we all need now. Right?

Plan to attend this extraordinary event for the return to the good old days of celebrating together, discovering who receives best of show awards, celebrating the next generation of journalists via scholarship presentations, congratulating the Special Awards winners, picking up your hard-earned trophies (yes, they will be back this year) and certificates, festive décor, live music and just all around having a good time, finally!

Learn more by clicking on the Awards tab in the menu above.
