Once again this year the New England Newspaper & Press Association will identify our region’s very best daily, weekly and specialty newspapers, and recognize them with the prestigious “New England Newspaper of the Year” award.
This is a one-of-a-kind competition and is the only distinction in our industry that is judged by the audience members.
New England newspaper readers in each of the six New England states will be appointed to evaluate the entries from a news consumer point of view and decide which deserve the honor of being named “Newspaper of the Year“.
The deadline to submit entries is Friday, July 30, 2021.
Entries are also being accepted for five other prestigious awards
Publick Occurrences Award
This award recognizes individual or team stories, series, spot news coverage, columns or photojournalism that ran in print and/or online. Editors should view this entry as their “very best work of the year.”
