BNC Competitions are open for entries
The BNC competitions for Advertising, Writing, Special Sections and Photography are ready to accept entries.
New this year
We’ve added a new category to our advertising competition. – Best House Ad.
This new award recognizes creativity and skill in your newspaper’s use of unsold space for self-promotional advertising. A house ad may be for the advertising space itself (ie. ‘buy this space’), for the newspaper itself (ie. ‘Our newspaper is awesome’) , or for one of your other side-projects (ie. promoting a supplement, in-house printing service, a charity/fund-raiser your paper is organizing).
The ad can be B&W or colour. The use of colour in itself will not be considered in judging.
Everyone builds House Ads, so we just know every member newspaper has something exciting to enter in this new category. We can’t wait to see the entries!
Where’s all the info and forms and whatnot?
Everything you need should be available on the competitions web site. Start at the index page https://awnabnc.ca/bnc-index/ for links to the different competitions and descriptions.
Plus we have our Checklist – Download and use this as your worksheet so you don’t miss a thing!
The Deadline for entries is January 31st.
We’ll be checking in with our member photographers and designers and editors over the next month to be sure to gather all your best work.
Ready to log in?
if you created an account last year, that account will still be in the system – you won’t need to register again. Just go to the site and look for the log in button. Log in with your username (if you remember it 😉 ) or your email address. We’ll also be sending out an email to each of these account addresses to help you remember what is already set up.
Did not create an account last year? All our publishers and managers will have received a special email with the registration page password, so if you haven’t seen that yet, ask them to check their junk mail filter just in case. It is a pain, for sure, that we have to keep the registration page behind a password, but it’s the simplest way to keep out the bots.
Looking forward to seeing all your amazing work.
