KPA Fall Newspaper Contest breaks one record, almost two More than 80 newspapers and more than 4,000 entries make the 2001 KPA Fall Newspaper Contest the largest in history — in at least one category and a close second in another. The number of newspapers is the highest participation for any KPA contest in history, while the 4,086 entries ranks second to 4,271 in the 1997 Fall Newspaper Contest. Entry income for 2001 is $17,175, second to the $18,066 income from the ‘97 contest. The KPA Fall Newspaper Contest will be judged Thursday, Nov., 8, by the Florida Press Association. Awards will be presented Friday, Jan. 25, 2002, at the closing banquet for the KPA Winter Convention. “With the economy, we were particularly concerned about this Fall’s contest,” said KPA Executive Director David T. Thompson. “Newspapers are having to hold down on expenses and we expected the contest to be one of those areas that suffered from needed cutbacks. “It’s encouraging that this contest not only had the largest number of newspapers participating, but almost became the largest in number of entries and income.”
