Page One Award

The Page One Awards were a series of annual awards given by the Newspaper Guild of New York for achievements in the United States in journalism, public affairs, labor, science, and entertainment.

The New York chapter of the American Newspaper Guild established the Page One Awards. A committee was formed to recognize excellence in public affairs, journalism, books, science, theater, motion pictures, musical comedy, popular music, and sports.^[1] The award was presented at the union's annual Page One Ball,^[2] which began in the mid-1930s.

Over the years, the Guild presented Bill Gallo with 20 Page One Awards,^[3] the largest number awarded to a single recipient.
