Deadline to enter is 4:30 p.m./Eastern, Friday, October 18
Information about the 2019 Advertising Excellence in Kentucky Newspapers and the 2019 Excellence in Kentucky Newspapers (News) contests have been made available to all KPA members. The contest is for all issues published between October 1, 2018, and September 30, 2019. The entry deadline date is 4:30 p.m./Eastern on Friday, October 18.
The first bullet point on the contest list is to get registered to enter the contests and newspapers have been given specific instructions about accessing the ACES Contest system and how to register. Then the pace is up to newspapers as long as they meet the 4:30 p.m./Eastern deadline on Friday, October 18. That’s when the system will be closed and no other entries will be allowed.
There have been no changes in the Advertising categories but there have been additions, tweaks and a deletion in the News Contest. Gone is the Best Lifestyle Page, a category that drew the fewest number of entries over the last three years. New in 2019 is the Jon Fleischaker Freedom of Information Award, sponsored by the Associated Press, and Best Video. Tweaks were made in four “Best” categories and in combining Best Special Section with Best Sports Special Section as one category.
