Winners of the 2020 National Newspaper Awards will be announced on Friday, May 7.
For the second year in a row, the traditional gala to announce winners cannot be held because of COVID-19 restrictions on large gatherings. Instead, the announcements will be made in a webcast starting at 7 p.m. ET on May 7.

The full list of winners will be released on the NNA website at 8:30 p.m. ET on Friday, May 7.
This is the 72nd year of the awards program, and the 32nd under the current administrative structure. The awards were established by the Toronto Press Club in 1949 to encourage excellence and reward achievement in daily newspaper work in Canada. The competition is now open to daily newspapers, news agencies and online news sites approved for entry by the NNA Board of Governors.
