About the Better Newspapers Contest
The Better Newspapers Contest (BNC) is an annual newsroom competition that is sponsored by CNPA for the purpose of recognizing the most outstanding journalistic achievements published by daily and weekly California newspapers in one calendar year. Dailies and weeklies compete separately among themselves based on their circulation. All awards and plaques are issued in the name of the newspaper as the official contest entrant submitting entries produced by its staff or its regular contributors.
About Student Newspaper General Excellence
The Student Newspaper General Excellence category offers three separate divisions of competition: high school, two-year Colleges, and four-year Universities. One 1st-place and one 2nd-place plaque is awarded in each of the three divisions of competition.
