Deadlines
All entries will need to be uploaded, as PDF files, by Friday, January 29th
The TWO exceptions to this rule are "Agricultural Supplement" and "Special Supplement or Section". We ask that copies of these (with the accompanying entry form) be mailed to:
Maurizia Hinse c/o BNC Entries, 2824 - 39 Avenue, Edmonton AB T6T 1L1
How to Enter
Entries will be submitted via an online form. Start assembling your entries by collecting PDFs of the pages/entries. It is important that your entry be the full page of the newspaper - the folio line must appear on your entry PDF.
We are using a different service than last year, and we're still writing out the new log in instructions. That link for uploading entries will be posted here, at the start of January.
Please start collecting your PDFs now
If you are having problems locating PDFs of your pages, the AWNA does have an offsite archive of your pages. Let us know which pages you need and we can send you the PDFs. Email
Maurizia or
Julie Anne.
