WASHINGTON, April 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The best political reporting and writing from 2017 should be entered in the National Press Club journalism contest so it can be recognized by the Lee Walczak Award for Political Analysis.  The deadline, which has been extended, is April 16.

This award is named in memory of Lee Walczak, a Washington editor, bureau chief and White House correspondent who worked for Bloomberg News and Business Week.

Entries should be one article or a series of no more than three articles on a consistent topic. Judges will consider entries that explain why things happen, putting them in context and looking at what's likely to happen next.

The winner gets a $750 prize.
