In 1979, the Society for News Design founded the “Best of Newspaper Design™” Creative Competition. The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University co-sponsored the competition from 1988-2016. In 2009, the name was changed to the “Best of News Design™” and opened to all magazines.

The competition invites entries from all magazines and general circulation newspapers — daily or non-daily, broadsheet or tabloid, traditional or alternative — published anywhere in the world, as well as syndicates and cooperatives providing material used in newspapers.

Award of Excellence is granted for truly excellent work, going beyond mere technical or aesthetic competency. It honors outstanding entries for such things as being daring and innovative.
