The British Press Awards is the annual celebration of the very best in journalism across the national press. Honouring the finest journalists and newspapers in the land for more than 30 years, these awards are voted by the people that matter – your peers, in a judging process designed to achieve greater openness and scrupulous fairness.

Winning one of the prestigious awards brings deserved acclaim to the journalists involved and national recognition to your newspaper. Organised by industry publication Press Gazette, these coveted awards – and the ceremony that celebrates them – are the highlight of the journalism calendar.

The event, to be held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Tuesday 8 April 2008, will once again acknowledge and reward the greatest journalists in the UK national press through the most rigorous judging process of any journalism awards in the country.
