As part of our 2022 contest judging partnership, the Arkansas Press Association needs at least 35 volunteers from the Wisconsin Newspaper Association to judge its editorial contest this spring.
The deadline to sign up is Sunday, May 1. All judging will be done online and is scheduled to begin Monday, May 2, with a deadline of Friday, May 20.
Specific judging needs include six to seven photography judges, two to three design judges, and five to six sports judges. The remaining judges will be reporters, editors and columnists.
Serving as a judge is a great opportunity to draw inspiration from peers in another state. Judges also play a crucial role in making our annual Better Newspaper Contest possible. Without volunteers, the WNA Foundation — along with other newspaper associations and foundations across the country — would not be able to hold its annual contests.
