Posted

E&P Magazine (Editor & Publisher) thanks the many media companies that have already submitted nearly 200 entries in the 2026 EPPY Awards. In response to requests from organizations seeking additional time to participate, E&P has extended the entry deadline to Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, at midnight Eastern Time.

For three decades, the EPPY Awards have recognized the innovation, creativity and journalistic excellence that define digital-first news publishing. Since their launch in 1996, the awards have honored the people, teams and organizations whose work has made a meaningful impact, advanced online journalism and inspired the news media community.

 

“We’re grateful to the many news organizations that have already entered this year’s competition,” said Mike Blinder, publisher of Editor & Publisher. “We’ve also heard from teams that need a little more time to get their submissions across the finish line. This extension gives them that opportunity. If your team has produced work you’re proud of, there’s still time to give it the recognition it deserves.”

The 2026 competition welcomes entries across a wide range of categories, including investigative reporting, breaking news, multimedia storytelling, audio and video, mobile products and website design, audience engagement, data journalism and AI innovation.

News organizations of every size are encouraged to participate, including newspapers, digital-first publishers, broadcasters, magazines, nonprofit news outlets, ethnic media, and audio and radio organizations.
