The new Society of Editors Regional Press Awards is now open for entries.

Entries cost £25 (plus VAT) and the closing date is 8 March. An awards dinner is due to be held on 11 May.

The new event has come about after the rights to the Regional Press Awards (organised for many years by Press Gazette) were retained by our previous owner Wilmington, which opted not to continue holding the event. Last year the NUJ organised its own Regional Press Awards event.
