TOMORROW, WE WILL JUDGE A NEW CATEGORY (Combo print and digital presentation)
This year, SND added a new category for its Best of News Design™ competition, Category 20 (Combo print and digital presentation) and 92 papers submitted entries in news, sports or features subcategories!
35th competition coordinator Colin Smith said the entry entails figuring out some logistical details (namely finding a way to boost our Internet capacity in our venue and finding the right combination of devices to view the digital portion of each entry.)
“This seems like a category that both U.S. and international papers are really excited about,” Smith said. “For being a new category, such an immediate and explosive responsive is thrilling. This highlights how interested the industry is moving in this new media direction and I’m glad SND can be part of recognizing this fundamental shift in how we tell stories.”
