Award Details
Since 1959, the PNA Foundation’s Newspaper Carrier of the Year contest has helped Pennsylvania newspapers recognize the exemplary performance of carriers of all ages. It continues to be difficult to hire and retain reliable and talented carriers. Therefore, it is more important than ever to show exemplary carriers how much they are valued and appreciated for their contributions. Entering the contest is quick and easy, and cash prizes and certificates are awarded to the winners.

Check back soon for the 2025 Newspaper Carrier of the Year Award contest rules!
Deadline to enter is Monday, March 31, 2025. Winning newspaper carriers will be announced in April. Winners will be honored during the Advertising Contest Awards Luncheon in Harrisburg in May. If not able to attend the event, certificates and prize checks will be sent to the managers of the winning carriers for local presentation.
A lot has changed since the first newspaper carrier was hired by The New York Sun back in 1833; the fact remains that carriers continue to be an integral part of your success. Every day, and especially on these two special days, recognize and show appreciation to all your carriers.
- September 4 – National Newspaper Carrier Day
- October 8 – International Newspaper Carrier Day by News Media Alliance
Newspaper carriers – past and present – take these special days to celebrate by sharing stories from your delivery routes and/or what you enjoy about being a carrier. Use #NewspaperCarrierDay to post on social media.
