Better Newspapers Competition
The Better Newspapers Competition is held each year from coast to coast, at both the provincial and national levels. It is the industry’s chance to realize excellence among its peers. It is also a celebration of the vibrancy and health of community newspapers in Saskatchewan and across Canada. Each year, the member papers of the Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers Association submit hundreds of entries showcasing their talent.
The Better Newspaper Competition is open to all SWNA member newspapers and anyone who is an employee, or a freelancer commissioned by an SWNA member newspaper.
