Each year, the United Methodist Association of Communicators (UMAC) recognizes excellence in communication across the denomination through a dynamic awards program. 

This year judges reviewed more than 200 entries in 10 classes of communication which include print, photography, visual design, video, audio, digital publications, writing, media presentations, and publicity.

The awards were presented during the closing banquet at UMAC's annual meeting on Mar. 9  in Philadelphia with the theme "Embrace Change." 

The Northern Illinois Conference Reporter took 1st place in the Print Publication - Newspaper category. The judges said in their comments that the newspaper had a "very attractive layout and good photography."

"It's such an honor to be recognized among some of the most talented and inspiring communicators working to tell the story of The United Methodist Church daily," said Anne Marie Gerhardt, NIC Dir. of Communications and Editor of the Reporter. "As our denomination faces change and challenges in the next year, the Reporter will continue to share the important news, stories, and events to inform and engage our congregations across the Conference."
