Keeping with the tradition of the award, the Indiana University School of Journalism will review all nominations and determine the winners. Awards of Excellence winners receive a special plaque to commemorate their achievements and a $1,000 scholarship to be donated to the school of their choice. Each award winner’s name will also be added to the perpetual Russ Catlin Award trophy, which is displayed at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
