The National Newspaper Awards were established in 1949 by
the Toronto Press Club with the financial and moral support of
the late C. George McCullagh. Since 1989, the awards have
been governed by a Board of Governors representing both
daily newspapers and the public. The awards are administered
by the Canadian Daily Newspaper Awards Programme
Administration Corporation.
The NNA is awarded for excellence in editorial cartooning for
a single cartoon or body of work of up to three cartoons.
Preference is given to cartoons that demonstrate humour,
originality and satire related to news events, with quality
embracing line, style and likenesses of personalities where
relevant. One submission per entrant.
Editorial cartoons shoot straight to the heart of an issue.
Sought here is originality, bite, humor and impact as well as
quality of drawing. In this category entrants may enter one
editorial cartoon or select three cartoons to represent a body
of work. Judges can award top honors to one highly original,
witty, cartoon or reward a cartoonist for the body of work
submitted. To determine excellence in Editorial cartooning
judges will consider the following.
· Is sustained wit evident in all of the work?
· Is humor clever and biting? If satire is a factor, is it used
effectively?
· Is the work original in both its message and style?
· Is a clear message conveyed?
· Is work outrageous (and is that justified)
· Is the cartoonist's line and style consistent, distinctive?
· Are caricatures of personalities recognizable and effective?
· Does this work inform the reader, entertain the reader and
achieve its purpose?
Judging is done by prominent people selected from across
the country. Most have had extensive media experience.
There are three judges in each category of the NNA's and
they arrive at a consensus decision after examining the
entries over a seven-week period.
Based on experience and tips from judges who must plough
through some 1,300 entries each year, here are some tips
about entering.
- Take some time to assemble entries neatly. Judges do
complain about how haphazardly things appear to be thrown
together.
- If you can, staple the components of an entry in this order,
top to bottom: entry ballot, covering letter (if any, from either
a senior editor of yourself), and then the entry.
- If submitting photos, staple the components of the entry in
the top left corner in the white space surrounding the photo
image.
- Do not send background pieces or testimonials. The judges
are instructed to judge only those works that are being
submitted for the competition. However, a covering letter
from the competitor or senior editor to provide some
background and explain the circumstances behind the story is
always useful for the judges.
- Covering letters that contain nothing more than information
serving to introduce the competitor as a "fine person and
outstanding journalist" are not necessary.
- Be specific in indicating to the judges what stories they are
to judge or not judge. Your covering letter could explain why
certain stories are being submitted over others.
Entry fee is $35 per entry, plus GST. Entry fee for those with
newspapers under 30,000 circulation is $25, plus GST.
The NNAs are housed at The Canadian Newspaper
Association, 890 Yonge St., Suite 200, Toronto, ON. M4W 3P4.
