The MPA is seeking volunteers to judge this year’s New Hampshire Press Association Best Media Contest. Newspaper professionals from Maine are needed to pick winners in categories that cover writing, photography, design, advertising and new media.
New Hampshire’s entry deadline is June 14, so judges can expect to receive entries in early summer. Judging requires a modest time commitment, but it’s a good way to find out what – and how – other newspapers are doing.
The MPA’s Better Newspaper Contest will be judged this year by the press associations in New Hampshire and South Carolina. In return, South Carolina will need judges from Maine in early 2014.
Entry forms for the Better Newspaper Contest were sent to all MPA papers on April 12. The deadline for those entries is May 24.
Contact the MPA at mainepressmail@gmail.com if you’re interested in being a judge for New Hampshire, or if you’re not sure your newspaper has received its entry packet for Maine’s Better Newspaper Contest.
