The Advertising/Circulation/Promotion division of the Better Newspaper Competition consists of 32 competitive categories, and we want you to flaunt your best ideas for everyone to see. We are encouraging innovative and creative members to enter their best work in the 2024 competition!
Participation in the contest is a great way to show off your best revenue-generating work, reward and recognize your advertising, graphics, and production staff, and share ideas so we can learn from each other!
