2020 New Hampshire Press Association  Excellence in Journalism Contest College Finalists

Judges could but were not compelled to choose first, second and third place winners. In categories where there are fewer than three finalists, the judge could have awarded any combination of places – for example, first and second but no third, or second and third but no first, or just second place. 

In addition, judges could decide none of the entries in a category were deserving of recognition.

Winners of lifetime achievement awards and rookie of the year will be announced in July.

We are hoping for an in-person awards banquet in September to announce the final placings of the finalists.

In alphabetical order by news organization, except for individual awards, the finalists are:
