More than 5,000 hours of work by almost 100 people went into preparing, coordinating and conducting the competition. Twenty-six judges and more than 50 assistants worked over two long weekend in Syracuse, N.Y., with 13,781 entries in the 22nd Edition competition. Anyone who has attended the judging, as a judge, worker, staff or student helper, will agree the days are long and the work intensive. 

Five judges decided the winners from the 341 Category One entries. They were required to look at design as well as content. By the end of their long and sometimes frustrating deliberations, they had named six publications ‘Worlds Best-Designed Newspapers’ and two were given Judges’ Special Recognition
