Be sure to drop by Barnes & Noble on Erie Boulevard in DeWitt on February 11th at 7:00pm. Post-Standard Columnist Sean Kirst will be signing copies of his new book Moonfixer: The Basketball Journey of Earl Lloyd. Lloyd became the first African American to play in an NBA basketball game.  Lloyd played seven games for the Washington Capitals before the team folded. He spent six years with Syracuse Nationals and later with Detroit before retiring.  

Thank you for participating in the annual Syracuse Press Club awards competition.  We are grateful for the turnout in submissions, particularly in light of the consolidations, cost cutting and economic challenges facing all forms of media today. We are in the process of taking all of these entries, sorting them into media and category piles, and then sending them off to judges outside of the Central New York area.

When we get word from the judges, we will let the winners kn ow as soon as possible.  Awards will be presented at our annual dinner on May 15th at Drumlins.  We will post information about reservations for that event when it become available.

In the meantime, please submit a nomination for one of our club awards. We are taking nominations for Career Achievement,  Professional Standards, Newcomer, and News Source.

Also note, we are still accepting applications for our $2,000 scholarship to be presented to a journalism/broadcasting student. Information on the club awards and the scholarship can be found on the front page.
