This Fauquier Times front page took a first place award.
The Fauquier Times newspaper was awarded the Grand Sweepstakes award in the Virginia Press Association’s 2020 News and Advertising Contest, the association announced Thursday, April 29.
The newspaper won the News Sweepstakes, the Advertising Sweepstakes in addition to the Grand Sweepstakes in group 3 of the non-daily circulation category. In all, the Fauquier Times earned 52 individual awards for advertising excellence, page layout and graphic design and illustration, writing and photography.
Times publisher Catherine Nelson said, “Advertising Sweepstakes, News Sweepstakes and the Grand Sweepstakes! Doesn’t get any better than that. We have an amazing staff who bring to the newspaper their own unique talents and together make it look easy. I could not be more pleased to have the judges award their work.”
Landon Butler, a member of the newspaper’s board of directors, said of the VPA wins, “In 2020, support from the Piedmont Journalism Foundation enabled us to develop some long-form stories that we otherwise couldn’t have afforded. The Grey Ghost story by Chris Connell about renaming the Mosby Heritage Trust, and Dana Priest’s story about how our staff rallied during COVID were both cited by VPA.”
Bo Jones, director and president of the PJF, said, “This recognition will be gratifying to members of the community who support the newspaper through its nonprofit owner.”
The Fauquier Times won the Grand Sweepstakes in 2017, 2018, 2019; this is the fourth consecutive year the paper has earned the honor.
