This year, the Newspaper Awards feature 20 categories designed to showcase the best in both printed and digital media. Several categories have been completely overhauled including the Grand Prix and environmental awards and 2011 also celebrates the increasing importance of the App with the inaugural Newspaper App of the Year award.
Gary Cullum, director of Newspaper Awards, says: “It may have been one of the most challenging years the industry has had to face but it was also a year when the power and influence of the media came to the fore. The 2011 Newspaper Awards will give the industry the chance to celebrate all that is good in the industry and provides a platform to a highly successful new decade.”
Closing date for entries is 18 March and the winners will be announced on 24 May at the Awards dinner held at the London Hilton.
