OTTAWA, Jan. 24, 2014 /CNW/ - The Canadian Association of Journalists reminds journalists that only a week remains to submit entries for the 2013 CAJ Awards program, featuring Canada's top investigative journalism award, the Don McGillivray Award.

Full information on how to enter the CAJ Awards, including entry forms to submit entries by mail is now posted on the Awards section of our website. The deadline for the Student Award of Excellence remains unchanged at Feb. 28, 2013.

"The CAJ awards program allows us to celebrate the best in Canadian journalism across all media," CAJ president Hugo Rodrigues said. "We want to recognize your best work from 2013, but we can only do that if you enter it for consideration."

The CAJ Awards finalists will be announced in late March or early April, with the winners announced at the CAJ conference banquet and awards gala, part of the 2014 CAJ conference in Vancouver from May 9-10.

The CAJ is Canada's largest national professional organization for journalists from all media, representing about 600 members across the country. The CAJ's primary roles are to provide public-interest advocacy and high-quality professional development for its members.
