2008 UT-TPA State Press Contests Awards Presented July 18
Winners of the 2008 UT-TPA State Press Contests Awards were announced at a luncheon on Friday, July 18 at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville.

A change in the contests for 2008 added a fifth division for competition and divisions were based upon total weekly paid circulation instead of daily or non-daily status. This change caused dailies and non-dailies to compete against each other, which occurred primarily in Group Three.

The 2008 divisions were: Group I—Combined weekly circulation of 5,000 or less; Group II—Combined weekly circulation of 5,001-15,000; Group III—Combined weekly circulation of 15,001-50,000; Group IV—Combined weekly circulation of 50,001-200,000; and Group V—Combined weekly circulation of 200,001 and above.

The winners of the 2008 General Excellence Awards, based on total points earned in the Contests, were: The Erwin Record, Group I; Memphis Business Journal, Group II; Southern Standard, McMinnville, Group III; The Leaf-Chronicle, Clarksville, Group IV; and The Tennessean, Nashville, Group V.

The 2008 General Excellence Award represents the sixth consecutive top award for The Erwin Record. Both the Southern Standard and The Tennessean have received seven General Excellence awards out of the 10 since the points-based award was established in 1999.

TPA Advertising & Circulation Managers' Retreat set for Sept. 19-20 in Clarksville
TPA’s Advertising and Circulation Committees, plus interested members, will meet Friday and Saturday, Sept. 19-20, in Clarksville to plan the 2009 Advertising/Circulation Conference. Sandra Shelton, advertising director of The Leaf-Chronicle, Clarksville, chairs the Advertising Committee, and Lou Lambert, consumer sales and marketing manager of The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, chairs the Circulation Committee.

In addition to conference planning, the retreat will include networking and an idea exchange. Retreat meetings will take place at The Leaf-Chronicle. The retreat begins at Noon (CDT) with a working deli-style lunch. At 3:00 p.m. the group will change focus from planning to exchanging ideas. Two $50 cash prizes will be presented—one for the best advertising idea and the other for the best circulation idea.
