2009 Best Ad Ideas Contest |
|
This year, the contests went digital. In all but 5 categories, newspapers uploaded PDF files containing the pages related to their entries. Contest judges went online and judged those entries by viewing the PDF files. You can view those same PDF files by clicking the award (1st, 2nd, or HM) in the listing below. In PDF entries, you can zoom in and read entire articles. The press releases below can be downloaded by clicking on either the PDF or the Word link.
Click the AWARD NAME (1st, 2nd, or HM) for an image (or PDF) of the winning entry. On that screen, click the newspaper name for a summary of that paper's awards, from which you can also view the individual entries. Click the NEWSPAPER NAME for a summary of that paper's awards, from which you can also view the individual entries. Close that window to return to the winner list. |
