"I have been putting the contest entries together for our paper for the last several years, and admit that I was a bit skeptical about the new online system. Once I started working with the Illinois Press Association's new online contest system, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use. The uploading system made my job so much simpler. It saved me lots of time not having to cut around clips, but rather just upload PDF files of each entry, and made for a nicer presentation of the entries. I'm already looking forward to putting entries together for next year's contest."

“I uploaded the newspaper file information and the category/class information...that was way too easy!!”

Judging the IPA contest was easy and efficient. The system allowed me to spend time with each individual entry and to make notes and comparisons to make judging decisions.

The rating system was extremely helpful for first, second and third passes through the entries.

Everything about it was very intuitive and straightforward. I even went back and edited some of the info in my entries with no problems.
Good job!
