Posted on 23. Mar, 2009 by sarah.bauer.

Thank you to all of the entrants of the 2009 Page One Awards. This year, we received more than 420 entries this year in Newspaper, Magazine, Television, Radio and Online Categories.

Entries are currently being judged by partner SPJ chapters in comparable markets throughout the U.S. Contest results will be returned to MN SPJ by mid-April when results will be verified and tabulated.

Contest winners will be contacted by mail or email when all results have been returned and verified. Specific “winner” information, including award place (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) will be announced for the first time at the 2009 Page One Awards banquet.

Banquet date and location will be announced soon.
