You’ve done great work and we want to see it!! Each year, the Press Club of Toledo honors the best of journalism and community service in our area at the Touchstone Awards. This year, we have expanded the number of journalism categories to recognize even more of the excellent work produced in the Toledo region. We invite you to enter your work!!
An independent panel of judges will be evaluating stories from newspaper, radio, TV and internet journalists, as well as a new category for PR campaigns.
The 2020 Touchstone Awards Call for Entries is here (2020 Touchstone Awards Call for Nominations). It’s easy to enter and there’s no limit to the number of entries you can submit, but you must not delay! The deadline to enter this year’s Touchstones will be August 21, 2020!
Our 22nd annual Touchstone Awards Ceremony will be held on October 21 at the Toledo Club, with Dr. Nicole Kraft (author of “Always Get the Name of the Dog”) as guest speaker. In the meantime, please look over your work published between June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020 and submit your best!
