i actually counted: 118 winners. ok, maybe i missed -- since that is such a huge number.
That doesn't include the students -- or the certificates of merit.
Come on. 118 winners???? Isn't that a bit too self-indulgent??? How about limiting the winners to ONE per category? And how about limiting the categories.
Yeah, it's particularly ridiculous because about 20 papers are even eligible to compete in each of the top two circulation categories for 'general excellence.' I don't know how many of those papers submitted entries, but fully 12 of those 40 were honored.
12 of 40!
So many of these contests strike me as just a way of luring people to the associated conventions.
