Newspaper Carrier of the Year

Since 1959, the PNA Foundation’s Newspaper Carrier of the Year contest has helped Pennsylvania newspapers recognize the exemplary performance of newspaper carriers of all ages.

First and second place winners are awarded in each division (youth, adult and senior). Each winner will receive an award certificate, a cash award and two undated complimentary tickets to Hersheypark. Also, the nominating manager/supervisor of the first place winner in each division will receive two undated complimentary tickets to Hersheypark.

Congratulations to the 2019 Newspaper Carrier of the Year finalists!
