    2009 CSCMA CARRIER OF THE YEAR AWARDS ANNOUNCED! - Monday - December 21, 2009 - 04:50 PM

    The prestigious Carrier of the Year Award program called for all member newspapers to submit their Carrier of The year entries to CSCMA by November 6th , 2009. This program honors the top carriers in three respective categories: Youth, Adult and Senior. Carriers and their nominator are required to fill out carrier, personal and community service information forms along with a minimum of three letters of recommendation from customers on their routes. A panel of newspaper circulation executive judges reviewed all entries and selected the two winners for this year. Judges reviewed 14 entries submitted from 9 newspapers this year. Judges evaluate all of the materials submitted to select their winners. CSCMA judging took place this year on December 2nd and our winners were then forwarded to NAA. 
     
    Each winner is awarded a wall plaque from CSCMA, a $100 check AND the winners are then forwarded to NAA for the national competition against other top carriers throughout the United States. The Newspaper Association of America opens their national competition to all of the newspaper sectionals. There are thirteen sectionals throughout the United States and each sectional can submit one or more entries in each of the three categories so there are generally a minimum of 39 entries to be reviewed by the NAA/COY judges. The three top winners of the NAA Carrier of The Year Awards will each receive a NAA Carrier of the Year Award certificate and a $250 monetary award.
     
    The NAA/COY judging will be done on January 22nd at NAA headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. NAA will directly contact the winning carriers in that competition along with their sponsor newspaper.
     
    The three Carrier of The Year winners who will be representing CSCMA in this competition are:
     
    YOUTH          NO ENTRIES SUBMITTED
     
    ADULT           Connie Davis from The Reporter Times, Martinsville, IN
     
    SENIOR         Anna Deremiah from The Herald-Times, Bloomington, IN
     
     
    We will post the top winners selected by NAA once they have been announced. Please be sure to review your newspaper carriers and submit your entries to CSCMA for next year’s competition. You may contact Tom Bunch at tbunch@ottawadelivered.com with any questions about the Carrier of the Year Award program.
