Changes for 2017


Active Member Changes:

  •  Many of the categories now allow online entries. Check out the category descriptions to know which ones!
  • Two of our split circulation categories are now combined. All circulation classes will now enter one category for Best Rural Story and Best Feature Photo.
  • We have added a new category: Multimedia Online/Best Online Experience for a Story. This award honours innovative efforts used to develop the story and increase reader engagement through alternate storytelling means: photos, graphics, illustrations, video, virtual reality, quizzes, slideshows, social media embeds, reader interaction or other emerging media. These tools will be used to augment the story-telling process in a way that informs, entertains and engages the reader.
