SABEW Canada Best in Business now open for entries

Starting its 10th year, the Canadian chapter of SABEW’s Best in Business Awards for 2023 is now open for entries. The awards are the only Canadian journalism awards dedicated exclusively to recognizing exemplary works of business journalism and covers work published, broadcast and posted in the 2023 calendar year.

There are 17 contest categories in this year’s SABEW Canada Best in Business Awards, including the Outstanding Achievement Award nominations and Jeff Sanford Best Young Journalist Award. Because these awards are for Canadian members of SABEW in good standing, please verify your membership before the competition opens.

We’ve made some changes. To better reflect the evolution of business journalism, we’ve made some changes to the awards categories, effective this year:

Audio or Video Storytelling has been replaced with two separate categories: Podcast and Multimedia.
Trade Article has been replaced with two Small Publication categories (General Excellence, and General Excellence – Reporter), which are open to trade/business publications as well as any journalistic organization with fewer than 15 full-time employees. Note that entrants from small publications are welcome to apply to all Best in Business categories, not only those limited to small publications.
Additional elements are now required for Outstanding Achievement Award entries.

The deadline for all entries is Friday, March 22, at 5 p.m. ET.

Visit SABEW Canada’s Best in Business page for categories and complete details. Contact Tess McLaughlin at tmclaughlin@sabew.org with any questions.
