The contest's winner, dubbed "Hey, Did You See That!," will get a free trip to the Promax & BDA convention in New York June 23-25 to present their winning entry.

Promos will be considered in the categories of Best Local News Promotion; Best Promo Done on a Dime; and Best Breaking News Promo Produced in an Instant. There will be four runners-up and a grand prize winner in each category.
