Front Page Awards Competition for Guild Work Published in 2010 “Extra! Extra! Read all about it!” That long-ago cry of newsboys hawking papers in city streets applies equally well to “reading all about it” in the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild’s Front Page Awards competition. The Front Page Awards honor the “best of the best” in writing, photography, commentary, graphics and union campaigns, all created by workers in WBNG-covered units in calendar year 2010. Former workers can enter, too. The point is if you created your work and it was published or posted on your employer’s Web site – or both – in 2010, it’s eligible for an award. And so are you. The entry deadline is easy to remember: Postmarked or hand-delivered by Valentine's Day to the WBNG office, 1100 15th St. NW, Suite 350, Washington DC 20005. Here's the handy, printable entry form, which should be attached to each entry. Please specify the category in which your entry is being submitted, and please provide two copies of each entry. An entry can be submitted in more than one category. For 2010, there are a few changes to the Front Page Awards. Here are the categories: Writing: Morton Mintz Award for Investigative Reporting or Public Service Reporting; Bernie Harrison Memorial Award for Commentary; News Analysis; Frank C. Porter Memorial Award for Labor and Business Reporting; Criticism; Feature Writing; Headline Writing; National or International News Reporting; Local News Reporting; Non-Daily Specialized Technical Reporting; Sports Reporting; Labor Unit Publication. Photography: Feature Photography; Local News Photography; National News Photography; Portrait Photography; Sports Photography. Graphics and Art: Advertising Design; Illustration Design; Labor Promotional Campaign; Marketing and Promotion Design; News Graphics Design; Web-Site Design.
