Now is the time to nominate a colleague for the 2019 MPG Awards.
The MPG Awards is a national program, and we’re soliciting works from the best outlets, large and small. We enthusiastically encourage all journalists and photographers to think about the best work that they (or a colleague) have done during 2019 and to get it in as early as possible for judging. Recognizing such work is something that encourages excellence in our chosen profession, and that helps to make what we do better understood by all.
As a reminder, in order to qualify, an article, video, book, or photograph must have been published for the first time in 2019. We’d like to invite you to make a submission. Have you written or read a great automotive news story this year? Is there a video, photograph or social media post that has turned your head, or a book that has informed you and caught your interest? You can submit your own work or inspire others to submit their work, whether they are MPG members or not. If you’ve discovered a colleague’s work and think it is worthy of submission, but you’re not connected to them, you can email us at info@MotorPressGuild.org, and give us the details so that we can reach out and invite them to submit.
