Proudly Serving Maryland, Delaware and D.C. News Organizations Since 1908

Congratulations to our 2024 Editorial and Advertising contest winners!

April 4, 2025

The judges have made their decisions!  Congratulations to the winners of the MDDC Press Association 2024 Contest.  These winners represent the best work of the region in editorial, revenue and design categories.  Over 1600 entries were submitted in over 80 categories.  We will announce the winners for first and second place in our awards broadcast (premiered through Zoom) throughout the week of May 5th.  Best of Show winners (one per category) will be announced at our Annual Conference on May 9th in Annapolis. 

 

MDDC will hold its annual conference and awards lunch on Friday May 9 from 9 am – 2:30 pm at the Doubletree Annapolis hotel.  Join colleagues and industry experts for two sets of panels and discussions on topics of interest, speed networking in our new “Mixing Bowl” session, and the presentation of Best of Show awards during a festive Mexican buffet lunch.   

 

Register for the conference here.

 

(First and second place awards will be announced in our pre-conference video drops during the week of April 29th.)
