Contest judges will be evaluating the entries in both categories this summer — in two circulation brackets: over 35,000 circulation and under 35,000 circulation. Three cash prizes and plaques will be awarded in each bracket:
Cash awards will be as follows in each of the four contest brackets: first-place, $2,250; second-place, $1,000; and third-place, $500. This puts total cash prizes at $15,000 — thanks to the generous support of Lissa Walls Cribb and Southern Newspapers, Inc.
In addition to the top three in each bracket, America's Newspapers also will be recognizing additional finalists.
This contest has always sought to recognize strong, courageous and positive editorial page leadership. Judges will take the courage it took to write the editorials or columns into highest consideration.
