For more than three decades, the Society for Features Journalism has honored the best in features storytelling and design with the annual SFJ Excellence-in-Features Awards.

Though the contest categories have evolved through the years, the mission has remained the same: To highlight the writers and storytellers who strive to portray and preserve a slice of today’s culture.

The SFJ contest also awards $300 to first-place winners — a rarity in journalism contests.

Good luck!
