After a year away from the Tennessee Press Association (TPA) awards, the Southern Standard picked up six top-four finishes in the state-wide newspaper competition co-sponsored by the University of Tennessee System and TPA. Entries were judged by members of the Virginia Press Association. The results of the annual competition, which saw over 1,100 entries from 71 newspapers across Tennessee, were announced Friday during a ceremony at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Franklin.
