Ma Murray 2020 – Register Now!

 

The Ma Murray Awards are an opportunity to recognize the achievements of the association’s 95 member newspapers in British Columbia and Yukon. Dedicated to celebrating excellence amongst our member newspapers, we have been hosting the Ma Murray Awards for almost a century! This year’s Awards Gala will again include the five new DIGITAL award categories, plus the new New Journalist of the Year Award, along with 38 other categories, covering all aspects of the newspaper industry, including reporting, photography, advertising, community contribution, and more.

We are so proud of the work coming out of BC and Yukon community newspapers, and hope that all of our member papers will join us at the River Rock Casino Resort on Saturday, April 25, 2020 to celebrate the finalists!

Click above to see the complete list of finalists or to register using an online form. If you’d prefer to print off a registration form to complete by hand, download it here.

As always, the top three finalists in each category will be offered a complimentary ticket to attend the Gala, as well as a free night’s stay at the River Rock for the event night, courtesy of the BCYCNA and our generous event sponsors. (Please note that if it is a team entry, only ONE free ticket and ONE free hotel night is offered).
