The Society of American Business Editors and Writers is building on last year’s success with online registration for its Best in Business contest by taking the entire entry process online for many categories in our 13th annual competition.
Editors will enter the SECTION contest as they did last year: Register the entry online, then mail in four copies of each section. Entries for the NEWS contest – breaking news, enterprise, columns and student categories, among others – will be registered entirely online. Entrants must attach a pdf (or several pdfs in a zip file) while registering their entry.
Entries for the NEWS contest must be completed online by Feb. 1. Entries for the SECTION contest must be registered online by Feb. 1, and four sets of the entry packet must also be postmarked to SABEW by Feb. 1.
The contest will consider only work published in the 2006 calendar year.
Follow the instructions at http://www.sabew.org and use the handy drop-down menus to choose the appropriate contest category, join SABEW for 2007, and pay for everything by credit card.
The Best in Business contest has two main components – the SECTION competition to select outstanding daily newspaper business sections and weekly business newspapers, and the NEWS contest to select the best individual stories or packages of stories published by the business news media. Additionally, SABEW is once again inviting students interested in business journalism to enter the student contest.
The SECTION competition for daily newspapers is divided into four categories based on average daily circulation, plus a fifth category for all weekly newspapers:
