We had a blast honoring the best of San Diego journalism at this year’s awards banquet!
You can see submissions that received comments from the judges here, and a full list of winners here. Not all first place submissions received additional comments.
Congratulations to all the winners, and a big thank you to everybody who came out to celebrate another great year of local journalism!
Note: The full list of winners was replaced with a more complete version on June 30.
The judges have judged, and so many journalists produced award-winning work in and about San Diego in 2023. Check the list below for your name. We’ll see you at our annual banquet at Stone Brewing on Thursday, June 27, where you can pick up your award. We’ll be announcing first, second and third place winners, and winners of our special awards, at the banquet.
This year, SPJ San Diego will award up to five $1,200 scholarships to local college students in the categories of print, photojournalism and video/audio/multimedia. We are also awarding one $1,400 scholarship in honor of former North County Times columnist Agnes Diggs and one $1,000 scholarship in honor of former San Diego Union-Tribune reporter Bradley J. Fikes.
The deadline for scholarship applications is 9 p.m. Monday, April 22, 2024. Click here for full contest rules and click here to enter.
