Holmes, who was a finalist in three categories, took out the Comment and Analysis award for his body of work.
The Examiner deputy editor Corey Martin said Holmes was a worthy recipient.
"Adam never shies away from a challenging story and his ability to analyse and dissect the important issues is a rare, but highly important talent."
The winners were announced at a cocktail event at Waterside Pavilion in Hobart on Friday evening, with the ABC's Annah Fromberg and Amber Wilson of The Mercury named dual winners of Journalist of the Year.
