Honoring Quality
News that Matters
Enter Long Island hyperlocal news as well as New York Metro Area Regional News and National News of any topic (No Long Island focus required for metro and national news). Quality news is news that matters to us all.
Expanding Folio Awards
The Folio Awards began in the early 1980’s as a way to recognize quality Long Island news, and has since expanded to include New York Metro and National News that has no Long Island-specific requirement. Why? Because, ultimately, we’re all connected.
