The 29th edition of the Best of Newspaper Design is up and running in beautiful Syracuse, N.Y. - and the SND International Web Desk is on the air, ready to bring you play-by-play of all the action.
At 9 a.m., the 27 judges - 5 groups of 5, plus two “conflict” judges - were receiving final instructions from judging team captains and 29th edition coordinator Greg Swanson. The first five categories are on the tables - the first of the nearly 15,000 entries to be judged. We’ll be taking you behind the scenes of the judging for the next three days, including coverage of winners as they happen. Stay tuned to update.snd.org for complete coverage all weekend long!
Good luck to the SNDIWD journalistic juggernaut, from a past Desk chief! Stay warm, and remember not to say too much about the odors near the Drumlins bathrooms.
We’re honored here at the Desk to have SNDIWD Founder Jay Small stop by. Proud you’re still following the action and, hey, we will miss your velvet voice at Sunday night karaoke!
