Once again The SandPaper figured prominently in the New Jersey Press Association’s annual Better Newspaper Contest, judged by members of the Louisiana Press Association this year, snaring 21 editorial, two photography, and 28 advertising awards in the 2019 competition.

The depth and breadth of The SandPaper’s editorial staff was evident in the results. There are 29 categories in the weekly print competition, with the newspaper being eligible in only 28 considering it doesn’t publish editorials.
