This annual competition honours general excellence in Alberta weekly newspaper publishing. This is the “all over” competition, looking at your newspaper as a whole. Four different circulation categories are based on your distribution, from “under 1100 up” to “10,000 and over”. In each of these groups, awards are then presented in :
General Excellence, Best Front Page, Best Editorial Page and Best Sports Page.
Independent publishers from outside of Alberta generally compose the judging committee and the awards are presented during the annual Convention held by the Association.
