that can work for any newspaper. Continuous cross promotion throughout
the year with ongoing themes but consistent message—Subscribe.”

“Santa’s Home Office” ad entered in the Best Use of
Multi-Color category.
The
Shelbyville Times-Gazette received the most awards at 27, sweeping the
awards in its division for Best Feature Page, Best 1/4 Page or Smaller

the second highest number of awards at 19.
Members of the Nebraska Press Association judged the contest entries March
7 in Lincoln.
A total of 1,270 entries was received from 43 newspapers. The contest has 27 categories, with each divided into five circulation divisions, two for non-dailies and three for dailies.
The Ideas Contest was established in 1978. The Ideas Contest proceeds help to offset the speaker costs for the Advertising/Circulation Conference. All conference attendees and Ideas Contest entrants will receive a CD of the PowerPoint presentation.
Jack Freeland, for whom the Best of Show award was named, was advertising manager of The Daily Herald, Columbia, and was active with the TPA Advertising Committee.
