WASHINGTON, March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Time is running out to offer your best work for 2016 for consideration in the National Press Club's national journalism contest this year.    

The contest will have breaking news competition for print/online and for broadcast award entries for top news and feature photos, and many other categories.
