DENTAL JOURNALISM AWARDS


The Dental Journalism Awards is one of the ICD's longest ongoing projects and is in its 48th year of competition.  The awards are open to any English language dental publication throughout the world.

The Dental Journalism Awards are to recognize those publications that have exhibited outstanding journalism in content, graphics and improvement during the past year and encourage others to bring their own publication to a higher level.  The competition has been placed in high esteem by Dental Editors and their staffs over the years, shown by the high level of quality publications that have entered the contest each year.
