When writing about the Bevins Prize yesterday, I mentioned en passant the Paul Foot Award. What I didn't realise is that its judges are now seeking submissions too, with a closing date of 1 September.
The award has been running for six years under the auspices of Private Eye and The Guardian. There is a £5,000 prize for the best example of investigative/campaigning journalism, with awards of £1,000 to five runners-up.
Last year's winner was Ian Cobain of The Guardian and the year before the prize went to Camilla Cavendish of The Times.
Entry form and details can be found here.
PS: A commenter raised a query about the Bevins Prize rules of entry. I have appended the response below the posting (though I'm not certain I understand it!)
