The 2005 Jefferson Muzzles.

I love this award.

Since 1992, the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression has celebrated the birth and ideals of its namesake by calling attention to those who in the past year forgot or disregarded Mr. Jefferson's admonition that freedom of speech "cannot be limited without being lost."

My favorite (at the moment--I haven't read them all yet):

In December 2004, students at Berkmar High School, in Lilburn, Georgia wrote two editorials for the school's student newspaper. The two opinion pieces discussed a new club that had formed at the school - the Gay Lesbian and Straight Society - and presented a point-counterpoint debate regarding whether or not the club should be allowed to meet on school grounds. At the command of school principal Kendall Johnson, the articles were deleted prior to publication. But the censorship did not stop there. When the issue was published, two empty, gray boxes appeared where the articles would otherwise have run. Kelly Shaul, a student copy editor of the ironically-named The Liberty newspaper, said: "We wanted to run a 'Censored' stamp on the page. But Mr. Johnson censored our 'Censored' stamp, which is pointless."
