This year’s London Press Club Awards 2022 Lunch will take place on Wednesday 26 October. The prestigious lunch event will be back at Stationers’ Hall which has re-opened after a refurbishment of the complex.
It has been an incredible year for brilliant journalism so the judging will be tough.
Broadcaster and journalist Nick Ferrari will, as last year, chair the judging panel. Judging will take place at the beginning of September.
It will be the same judging format and almost the same categories as last year. There is an additional category of Sports Journalist of the Year, and the Business Journalist of the Year award returns.
As previously, there is no requirement for entries and judges are invited to put forward whoever they wish to be considered for each category. Editors are, however, invited to make submissions as this has been helpful to judges.
Judging will take place early in September. Submissions need to be received by Tuesday 6 September, although earlier entries will be helpful and give the judges time to fully consider them.
Please send entries to:
London Press Club info@londonpressclub.co.uk
The categories are:
- Newspaper of the Year,
- Sunday Newspaper of the Year
- Multi-Media Journalist of the Year
- Broadcast Journalist of the Year
- Print Journalist of the Year
- Business Journalist of the Year
- Sports Journalist
- Scoop of the Year
- Young Journalist of the Year
- Edgar Wallace Award for journalism of the highest quality
Cudlipp Award
This year we will also be announcing the winner and presenting the Cudlipp Award (frequently it has been for outstanding campaigns) at the London Press Club Awards.

The Cudlipp Award will be for campaigning and investigative journalism published in 2021 or up until the end of July 2022.
