By Paul Greeley

It’s time to submit for the the 2027 duPont-Columbia Awards.

The deadline has been extended to July 8, 2026.

There is still time to enter your best audio video reporting for the 2027 duPont-Columbia Awards.

Founded by Jessie Ball duPont in honor of her late husband Alfred I. duPont, for over 80 years the duPont awards have set the standard for audio and video reporting, in broadcast, documentary and online.

The duPont-Columbia Awards uphold the highest standards in journalism by honoring winners annually, informing the public about those journalists’ contributions and supporting journalism education and innovation, thereby cultivating a collective spirit for the profession.

Every year about a dozen news stories and films are honored by the duPont­-Columbia University Awards for the strength of their reporting, storytelling and impact in the public interest.

The winning pieces are selected by the duPont jury from hundreds of entries vetted by a board of screeners.
