British Press Awards
Updated this year following wide consultation with the industry, judging will be a two-stage process involving a judging forum, made up of 80 senior journalists, and a smaller Grand Jury of senior executives representing each of the national newspaper groups. Overseen by Chairman of the Judges, Charles Wilson, the first stage will result in shortlists of five entries for each category, and winners will be selected at the second stage from these shortlists. The Supplement of the Year, Cartoonist of the Year and Front Page of the Year categories will be judged by independent panels of experts. For the first time, the 2006 Newspaper of the Year will be judged on an Academy-style voting system. The judging forum of 80 senior staff journalists and 20 non-affiliated senior media figures will vote to establish a shortlist and subsequently decide a winner. You will find all the instructions and entry requirements for each category in the PDF below.
