The Ippies Awards are given to the ethnic and community press by the Center for Community and Ethnic Media at CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. It is the only New York-area competition that recognizes excellence among journalists, photographers, graphic artists, editors, publishers and broadcasters of the ethnic and community media. Judges will be faculty and adjuncts at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and professional journalists.
Only ethnic and community media outlets and freelance journalists can enter the competition.
Entries considered for the competition are published, broadcast or posted between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 in a New York-based community or ethnic media outlet. This journalistic work is focused on issues rooted in NY, NJ and CT or is reflective of a community perspective on local or national issues.
Located at the CUNY J-School, the Center for Community and Ethnic Media serves as a hub of research, training and professional support for community and ethnic publications in the New York City metropolitan region. Since these media outlets distribute their work nationally and in their home countries, the center’s impact goes far beyond the borders of the five boroughs.
