We need MDDC members to judge the Editorial and Advertising contests for the Kentucky Press Association. Each judge has three weeks (October 20 – November 7) to complete the judging assignment, and all judging is completed online, via the Kentucky Press Association’s web-based contest platform.

Editors, reporters, designers and photographers are critically needed to judge the Editorial Contest. Kentucky’s categories include breaking news, general news, best column, criticism, use of photography, newspaper website ad use of multi/social media. This is a great way to see the new ideas and angles from other papers. Please click here to register to judge this contest by Wednesday, October 15th.

In the Advertising contest, we need ad managers, ad directors, graphic designers and sales reps to assess print ads. Their categories include automotive, financial, real estate, special sections and best use of color. Judging another press association’s contest gives you a view into another market’s great ideas, for a small time commitment.
