The Atlantic Journalism Awards (AJAs) are now accepting entries for news items from 2015. The AJAs were created to recognize journalistic excellence and achievement in print and electronic news media in Atlantic Canada.

There are eight newspaper categories, five radio, five television, three Atlantic magazine categories and six categories for any news media. The organization is also accepting nominations for the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Entries must be submitted by Monday February 1, 2016 at midnight. The judging panel will select three finalists in each category, except for the Lifetime Achievement Award, which has one finalist.
 
Winners will be honoured during a gala dinner to be held at the Halifax Marriot Harbourfront Hotel on Saturday May 7, 2016.
