Since 2026, the Wyoming Press Association has awarded the A-Mark Prize for Journalism and Investigative Reporting as part of its annual Pacemaker Awards.
The award supports investigative, solutions-focused, and other in-depth forms of journalism that clarify complex issues and dis/misinformation to serve and educate communities. Submissions may vary in scope but should aim to make a meaningful contribution to public understanding or engagement.
