Contest

OK, so we should have put something up about this months ago, but with all worries of job losses and the actual job losses, it's always pushed to the back burner.

The job losses, along with the poor economy (for newspapers and everywhere else), factored into us not having a contest this year. And with our board decimated by the layoffs (and furloughs) that have hit just about every paper in this region, it was a decision that needed to be made.

We're sorry that the great work done by journalists in the region in 2008 will not be honored, and hope to be back on our feet and able to run a contest next year. And if any one out there would be willing to volunteer to help with the contest (coordinate judging here and out of state, help sort out entries, organize the banquet, etc.) please contact us. We'd love the help.
