2008 Egan Award for Journalistic Excellence

Enter to Win an All-Expense Paid Trip Overseas

The Egan Award for Journalistic Excellence recognizes journalists who demonstrate excellence in reporting on humanitarian and social justice issues. The award was named after Eileen Egan, who devoted four decades of her life to assisting refugees and helping the poor.

The awards are judged by an independent, expert panel from the secular media that is knowledgeable on issues pertaining to the developing world. Judging will be conducted in April 2008. Selected judges will rank articles based on criteria previously outlined and established by Catholic Relief Services.

Winners were announced at the Catholic Media Convention in Toronto, Canada. All winners received a trophy will travel to the Middle East to visit CRS programs that work with Iraqi refugees.
