The North Carolina Press Association recently honored Mountain Xpress with four state awards for outstanding ad design.
At a Feb. 27 ceremony held in Chapel Hill, the North Carolina Press Association announced that Xpress won four state awards for outstanding journalism.
With six awards, Xpress designers received statewide recognition recently when it came to their creative ad designs. The accolades came from the North Carolina Press Association’s 2012 Best Ad Contest.
At an awards ceremony held in Chapel Hill earlier this evening, the North Carolina Press Association announced the winners of its 2012 News, Editorial & Photojournalism Contest — and Mountain Xpress was one of them.

In the 2011 North Carolina Press Association awards, Mountain Xpress earned recognition for six stories, projects and publications, including two first-place awards.
