For paper nominations: Five copies of each nomination are required.

Newspaper/Magazine Nominee: 5-10 significant newspaper or magazine stories by the nominee. (Five copies of each article in the original layout, if possible. Photocopies must be easy to read.)
 
Broadcast/TV or Radio Nominee: 5-10 significant broadcast stories by the nominee. TV and radio stories should be submitted just as they aired, without reediting. Contact the Chancellor Award office for coverage of breaking news stories, if applicable. (Five copies on DVD for television or CD for radio.)
 
  • Web reports printed out, submitted on disk or DVD or with a live link.

This award is intended for a journalist whose principal audience is in the U.S. If the original reporting is in a language other than English, transcripts or subtitles in English must be provided.
