Nevada Press Association The best in Nevada journalism since 1924
Nominations are now being accepted for inductees to the Nevada Press Foundation Hall of Fame. The deadline to submit nominations for 2022 is the close-of-business on Friday, July 15.
Candidates should be newspaper professionals who made lasting contributions to Nevada journalism and/or the news industry over the course of their careers. Members can be elected posthumously.
Each nomination must be accompanied by at least one nomination letter; supporting biographical material is encouraged. Both the letters and supporting material should be submitted in an electronic format, which can be sent directly to the Nevada Press Foundation at admin (at) nevadapress.com or via a form on the bottom of this page of our website.
Although there are no hard and fast rules, the organization generally inducts 3-4 new members every year. Our normal practice is to honor recipients from Northern Nevada when our annual conference is held in the northern half of the state and Southern Nevada when we meet in the south. This years’ Hall of Fame Luncheon will be held during the Annual Convention and Awards Banquet on Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Westgate Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
Nominees are vetted by a standing committee. The committee’s report is reviewed by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, which has the final authority to elect new members.
The Hall of Fame was resurrected in 1998 with the induction of 34 people who had previously been given the NPA’s Silver Makeup Rule Award. A photo gallery and alphabetical list with brief biographies of all of the members of the Hall of Fame can be found here on our website.
