Welcome to the official site of the 2015 Best in Digital Media Contest. You may have noticed that you are now on the Newspaper Toolbox web site.
How does it work? It’s as easy as 1-2-3.
Step 1 – Account Set-up: (Each contest requires a separate account - Even if you have entered other Local Media Association contests, you will need to create a new account login in order to enter the current contest.) Click on Create an account now in the login area on the left. You will be asked to fill in the name of your media company, classification and all contact information. You will only need to enter this information once regardless of how many categories you choose to enter. Upon submitting your account information, an email will be sent to you to confirm your temporary username and password for this contest. Take note that this username and password can be changed at any time by simply clicking on My Account.
Step 2 – Understanding Your Entries Page: When you log in for the first time with your temporary username and password, you will end up on your entries page. This page is the one you will refer to whenever you want to submit new entries, edit contest entries that have already been submitted, upload files or proceed to the payment of these entries. Submitted entries can be modified up to the contest entry deadline – not after the deadline has passed.
Step 3 – Submitting Entries: Simply follow the step-by-step instructions for submitting each entry and linking to your online material. If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact Local Media Association headquarters at: (888) 486-2466 or hq@localmedia.org.
Paper entries will NOT be accepted for this contest.
OBJECTIVE OF THIS CONTEST:
These awards recognize excellence in a variety of categories including best local community initiative, best site layout and overall design, best advertising initiative, best use of social media, best multimedia site and others. We also honor the best Local Community Web site and the Local Digital Innovator of the Year.
Recognition in Local Media Association contests is a valued commodity and winners can proudly boast their accomplishments in marketing & promotional tools. Your readers, advertisers and staff will be impressed by the accolades bestowed upon their local newspaper's web site from a national organization representing over 2,000 newspapers/local media companies from across North America.
ELIGBILITY REQUIREMENTS::
Open to all local media companies.
ELIGIBILITY:
For entries that include initiatives that are not live on your current site, the contest eligibility period is February 1, 2014 through March 1, 2015.
Each local media company may submit an unlimited number of entries within each category, as long as the entries are submitted in the proper classification in which they qualify. In other words, if you have separate editorial efforts for each of your company’s individual local media efforts, you may submit separate entries for each local media effort, but the classification you enter is to be based on the total monthly unique visitors.
DEADLINE:
Online entries must be received by midnight on Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Paper entries will not be accepted for this contest.
If you have any questions, please contact Local Media Association Headquarters at 888-486-2466 or hq@localmedia.org.
