The Award • Bruce Baer • About Friends • Judging • Past Winners

The Bruce Baer Award was established in the spirit of Bruce Baer by annually honoring Oregon print and/or broadcast journalists whose work best demonstrates

excellence in the profession. The cash portion of the annual award is a minimum of $1,000. Multiple authors split a single award. Multiple awards may be granted for equally deserving competing entries. A plaque accompanies the top award. In addition, the judges often award Special Recognition certificates for deserving entries.

Awards have been issued in most years since 1978. The award is a feature presentation at the annual banquet of the Society of Professional Journalists..

Contributions to the Bruce Baer Award Endowment Fund, administered by the Portland State University Foundation, are welcomed and tax deductible.
