This year, we invite you to submit your best work in the areas of medical and health care to be considered among the top journalistic efforts in the state.

A cash award of $500 and an engraved plaque are presented to winners in each of three categories: print, radio, and television. Winners will be presented their awards at a special luncheon on Thursday, September 6, 2012, at the Renaissance Hotel in Baton Rouge, LA.
