The 2020 BNC and Photo competitions are open for entries. Stories, Advertising, Photos and Special Sections from your 2020 newspaper editions.

We’re using a ‘home-grown’ solution this year to cut costs. As such, it doesn’t have quite as many features as the last software, but we’re hoping simpler is better.

Because the entry forms will be on a site where users are allowed to upload files, we need a certain amount of security to keep out malicious trolls. To that end the registration page is not in the open, and password protected. Julie Anne will be emailing out to each publisher/general manager the URL to the registration page. If an editor or production person needs the info, they should ask their publisher, or contact Julie Anne directly.

As it is a new set up, there may be hiccups as it rolls out full scale. Please contact Julie Anne with central office if you have questions or concerns with the competition web site.
