The Erik Barnouw Award is given annually by the Organization of American Historians in recognition of outstanding programming on television, or in documentary film, concerned with American history, the study of American history, and/or the promotion of American history. The award honors the late Erik Barnouw, Columbia University, a historian of the mass media. Submissions should be self-contained products even though their content may extend across other media platforms (including podcasts and websites). Only films and video programs of at least 25 minutes in length released between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 are eligible for entry. Mini-series submissions should submit only one episode. One copy of each entry, clearly labeled "2024 Erik Barnouw Award Entry," must be sent directly to the award committee members. The committee accepts clearly labeled DVDs by mail. The committee prefers that work is submitted via an online video hosting service such as Vimeo. Please provide the committee members with a link to the work and a password for access. Please visit the award's website for more information.
