We know you're proud of your staff's work on your printed product. Show us the best of the best by entering the Newspaper of the Year contest. We want to see everything, from diversity to photography. Who wouldn't want to be Newspaper of the Year?
Recognizing overall excellence in Pennsylvania newspapers.
The purpose of the Newspaper of the Year contest is to recognize outstanding newspaper work, with the emphasis on overall excellence. This contest is designed to give your newspaper the opportunity to showcase the efforts of your entire staff.
There are many reasons to enter your newspaper in the Newspaper of the Year contest -- from recognition to awards. But perhaps the best reason is the critique(s) you receive. Every entry submitted receives written comments from the judges. Critiques are a valuable tool for improving your product, an essential goal in retaining readers and securing new readership.
The awards are presented at a special luncheon during PNA Annual Convention. Contact the PNA Foundation at foundation@pa-news.org, (717) 703-3003, with questions or concerns.
