2009 Egan Award for Journalistic Excellence

Enter to Win an All-Expense Paid Trip Overseas

The Egan Award for Journalistic Excellence recognizes journalists who demonstrate excellence in reporting on humanitarian and social justice issues. The award was named after Eileen Egan, who devoted four decades of her life to assisting refugees and helping the poor.

The awards are judged by an independent, expert panel from the secular media that is knowledgeable on issues pertaining to the developing world. Judging will be conducted in April 2009. Selected judges will rank articles based on criteria previously outlined and established by Catholic Relief Services.

All winners will receive a trophy and an all-expense paid trip to visit CRS programs overseas.
