Better Newspapers Competition winners have a new reason to attend CCNA convention

The Canadian Community Newspapers Association (CCNA) is pleased to offer a new subsidy to 2007 Better Newspapers Competition winners.

The pass gives the recipient full access to the day’s professional development sessions and networking opportunities, including the exhibit area, CCNA Presidents luncheon, and Better Newspapers Competition Awards banquet.

Winners were announced on the CCNA’s website on Monday, March 12, giving winners an opportunity to make arrangements to attend the CCNA’s annual convention and receive their award in person.

BNC winners will be contacted this week with full details on how they can benefit from this offer.
