The Blackshear Times won six Georgia Press Association (GPA) newspaper contest awards, including one First Place award, two Second Place awards, and three Third Place recognitions.
The 2021 annual GPA Convention was held recently on Jekyll Island.
Times News Editor Jason Deal received a First Place award for education coverage.
Entries included stories about the fate of the old Pierce County High School, a feature story on retiring band director Bob Edwards and “‘Egg’-cellent Idea,” a feature story on Patterson Elementary’s new chicken farm.
Judges wrote they especially loved Deal’s “in-the-classroom aspect of coverage.”
