This year Community Service, Journalist of the Year, Photographer of the Year and Special Section or Special Edition were not divided into division, rather dailies, semi-weeklies and all weeklies competed against each other in these categories. Each division produced amazing work and held its own despite the sizes of papers and circulations.
