2012 Contest Awards Better Newspaper Contest Associate Member Publications Contest |
|
In most categories for this year's contests, 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 PDF files by clicking the award (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) in the listing below, and you can zoom in and read entire articles. Navigation is easier, too. In the listing below, or in any single-entry display, click the newspaper name to see a summary of all their awards. In any award summary, click the category names to see the individual winning entries.
For the Better Newspaper Contest, entries in 26 categories were judged in the eight circulation groups described below. In a few categories, circulation groups were combined because entries were too few for adequate competition.
