It takes a swap to get a contest judged. So, on Feb. 18, some 37 Texas Press Association members judged the Georgia Better Newspaper Contest in Austin at the Wyndham Garden Hotel. Another six TPA members judged editorial categories mailed to them by Georgia Press Association. The TPA members who judged in Austin scrutinized and ranked more than 4,000 entries. Their work on behalf of the entire association, and especially on behalf of newspapers that participate in the contest, is greatly appreciated. Their dedication to the task and the quality of their work enable TPA to enter judging swap agreements with other state press associations. Georgia Press members will judge the Texas Better Newspaper Contest on April 29 in Atlanta.
