Founded in 1934 by the Press Club of Atlantic City, the National Headliner Awards program is one of the oldest and largest annual contests recognizing journalistic merit in the communications industry.

The first National Headliner Awards were presented in 1935. Since then, more than 2,000 Headliner medallions have been presented to outstanding writers, photographers, daily newspapers, magazines, graphic artists, radio and television stations and networks, and news syndicates.

All Headliner entries are judged in Atlantic City by a panel of journalists representing newspapers, wire services, and radio and television stations from around the country. The judges are distinguished men and women who are selected on the basis of journalistic contributions they have made during their careers.

Headliner competition is open to all material appearing in a paid-circulation publication or broadcast in the United States between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013. There is no limit on the number of entries that may be submitted. However, each entry may be entered in only one category.
