Ad Contest Winners Announced

First Running Attracts More Than 200 Entries.

The winners of the 1998 Advertising Layout and Promotional Design Awards contest were announced June 11.

In this, the first running of the competition, Washington City Paper collected eight awards — the most of any paper entered.

The contest was also marked by a strong showing by papers from smaller markets, including Knoxville, Tennessee’s Metro Pulse, which walked away with three prizes and Massachusetts’s Worcester Magazine, which scored a pair of first-place trophies.

This year’s awards attracted more than 200 entries which were judged by a six-panel committee of advertising and design professionals.
