The ceremony took place on Monday at the NAA Marketing Conference in Orlando, Fla. The competition drew more than 200 entries from U.S. newspapers of all sizes.

Each entry was judged on strategy, creativity, impact in the local market and adaptability to other markets, according to the NAA. Judges name winners in three groups based on the newspaper's print circulation size. This year's Online Innovator Award went to Dan Shorter for his work at PalmBeachPost.com.
