It is tradition for Moonshine Ink to submit staff-selected best-of-the-best stories/illustrations/photos/advertisements to the National Newspaper Association’s Better Newspaper contests each year. The organization seeks to recognize top community journalism efforts across the country.
The past few years have yielded an adjacent tradition for the Ink: winning awards.
