Thank you to those who have already sent me their information for the editorial reciprocal judging this year. If you haven’t set signed up, please do. The more judges we have the smaller the workload there will be on those willing to judge.

2026 Journalism Judges Needed!

It is time for the Hoosier State Press Foundation Contest Judging season to begin soon!

Each year HSPA partners with another press association to judge each other’s journalism contests.

This year we will be judging the Illinois Press Association contest.

We need our member newspapers to have at least 2 staff members from your newspaper help us judge. The more judges we have the smaller the workload for those willing to judge.

Click the link and coplete the information for any other staff members that are willing to help us with this project by 5 p.m. Tuesday, January 20. You will have 2 full weeks to complete the judging. The judging window will begin in February/March.

Thank you in advance for your willingness to help HSPA with this judging.
