Greetings from the Arizona Press Club,

Here is what you’ve all been waiting for: the list of winners in the Arizona Press Club's 2007 Awards Competition for the Best Journalism in Arizona. No, we will not tell you in which category you placed, or in what order you placed ― for now. We save that news for our awards banquet to be held this year Saturday, May 10 at the Heard Museum in downtown Phoenix.

Deadline to register is April 28. To buy tickets or for more info visit the banquet page.

Important: If your name is spelled incorrectly on this list, please contact contest chair Jill Jorden Spitz at jspitz@azstarnet.com. Otherwise it will be wrong on your certificate.
