Judges consider the objective, strategy, and result as well as design and attractiveness for all ads.

The contest is open to Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association member organizations who are in good standing, as well as non-member Pennsylvania news organizations that meet the following criteria: at least six months of continuous publication, availability to the general public, regularly updated content, adherence to ethics and standards of journalism, and no promotion of special interests of groups, individuals or causes.

Helpful Tip

Save entries throughout the year! To avoid the frantic rush during next year’s contest period, we recommend that you save your potential entries in a special file on your computer, or create a MyScrapbooks page through the BetterBNC website. Then when contest time rolls around, you simply search that file for your best work!
