The organization of Nebraska Press Women celebrated its 60th anniversary this past weekend in Lincoln while presenting its Communications Contest awards.
Kearney Daily Hub Staff Writer Lori Potter placed first in the contest’s sweepstakes competition, which involves total individual points accumulated in the contest. She had eight first-place awards, five seconds, two thirds and two honorable mentions.
Hub Staff Writer Kim Schmidt placed first for a news story in a daily newspaper, second in continuing coverage, third in special articles-government/politics and honorable mention for special articles-education.
Katherine Thomas, a University of Nebraska at Kearney student who also is the arts and entertainment writer for the Hub, received honorable mention for feature writing in a magazine or supplement, a contest category for college students.
The first-place winners in the professional and college categories of the NPW contest advance to the National Federation of Press Women Communications Contest. National awards will be presented Sept. 9 at the NFPW convention in Denver.
All entries in the college categories of the contest were from UNK students.
