For the first time, the American Bar Association will accept entry forms for the Silver Gavel Awards online.
The deadline for 2014 award submissions is Jan. 7.
The award recognizes the outstanding work of professionals in the media and the arts that fosters the American public’s understanding of law and the legal system.
This is the ABA’s highest honor in recognition of this purpose and only one Silver Gavel is presented in each category.
Complete the entry form online.
Entries must have been originally published, produced or presented in 2013.
There is no limit on the number of entries that may be submitted; however, a particular entry can only be submitted in one category.
Depending on the category, a hard-copy or mail-in submission may be required.
The eligible categories are books, magazines, newspapers, commentary, drama and literature, documentaries, television, radio and other media. Guidelines for the award are available online.
The association has presented these awards annually since 1958.
The 18-member ABA Standing Committee on Gavel Awards makes final award decisions. Finalists will be announced on March 13.
Winners will be announced on May 15. ABA President James R. Silkenat will present the awards on July 22 in D.C.
