Nevada Press Association The best in Nevada journalism since 1924
From Chad Stebbens and Steve Ranson at the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors:
Given that we have received significantly fewer Golden Quill entries this year than in 2017, the ISWNE board has authorized us to extend the entry deadline to March 1. The contest is open to community newspapers that publish four for fewer times during the week.
Here are four reasons to enter:
- If you win the Golden Quill, you receive a conference scholarship (a $550 value) and travel expenses of up to $500 to attend the July 11-15 conference in Portland, Oregon.
- If you win the Golden Quill, you receive a gold-plated golden quill mounted on a black marble base with your name engraved (a $455 value).
- If you are one of the 11 runners-up, you receive a Golden Dozen award and a conference scholarship if you haven’t attended an ISWNE conference before.
- If you are a Golden Quill or Golden Dozen winner, your editorial or column is reprinted in the Summer 2018 issue of Grassroots Editor and preserved for posterity.
