In yesterday’s hard-copy Fastline, we ran – in error – an ad that warned the deadline for the $10,000 Newspaper Ad of the Year is “tomorrow” (Friday).
The correct date for the awards is Friday 13 July – meaning there’s still a clear two weeks left to get your entry in. The original error occurred during the editing process.
There are big changes this year: The Newspaper Ad of the Year is becoming the Newspaper Advertising Awards, but it’s more than just a name change. While there’s still the Ad of the Year award (and the $10,000 prize), it’s now one of seven award categories …
