Due to our increasing circulation, and the revamping of the contest from five to four divisions, the Banner was lumped into the second-largest division in this year’s North Dakota Newspaper Association Better Newspaper Contest. Competing against papers with 1,651 to 4999 readers (we had 1,652 last fall) the Banner received the general excellence trophy at tonight’s NDNA convention banquet. Thanks to our readers for their support the past year. We greatly appreciate it.
