The Newspaper Awards say they are dedicated to celebrating excellence and innovation in the printed newspaper.
Gary Cullum, director of The Newspaper Awards, says: “For the second successive year we had two panels of judges, comprising 17 newspaper executives, poring over newspapers from all around the world. One specialist panel of print experts judged the two printer categories, while another panel assessed the remaining 11 categories. Although the printed newspaper industry continues to face difficult challenges, we had a record number of entries this year.”

The winners will be announced at a black-tie gala dinner on Wednesday 2 April at the London Hilton Bankside.
