Entries can be submitted as a PDF or a URL link to the entry. Please make sure the entry is clearly identifiable on the page, do not assume the judge will know what story/photo/ad to judge.

Paywalls - if the entry is behind a paywall, you must create a username and password for the judge to use. Enter that information in the notes section of the individual entry. It will not be judged if the judge cannot access the entry. It is not the responsibility of the judge to create an account, even if free, or to notify the newspaper that they cannot view the entry. An online link to the material must remain active during the judging period and must not require paid access to view the entry
URL links and paywall access must be available through the end of May 2025.
All entries must be from newspapers or online news sites that are members in good standing as of the contest deadline of the North Carolina Press Association. Entries may not be submitted from sister publications unless they are also members of NCPA. Print members must have proven circulation numbers on file with NCPA to determine proper division - from either a published statement of ownership or a sworn statement signed by the publisher.
