Members of the Southside Sentinel staff won five first place awards, four second place awards and three third place awards in the 2019 Virginia Press Association News and Advertising Contest.
The awards were to be presented during the annual awards banquet in early April, which was postponed and later canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. The winners were publicly announced last week.
Among the first-place winners was the inaugural Bay Heritage special section published last fall and produced jointly by the staffs of the Sentinel and the Rappahannock Record in Kilmarnock.
