Krise in Libyen verschärft sichGegenoffensive Gaddafi-Truppen rücken gegen Aufständische vor

Kairo Das massive Vordringen derlibyschen Armee gegen die Aufstän-dischen setzt den Westen unterZugzwang. Truppen des libyschenStaatschefs Muammar al-Gaddafirückten am Sonntag auf die östlicheKüstenstadt Brega vor. Der Ort sei„von den Terrorbanden gesäubert“,verkündete das staatliche libyscheFernsehen in Tripolis. Rebellen-kommandeure erklärten der BBC,dass sie sich aus der Stadt zurückzo-gen, nachdem diese unter intensivenBeschuss durch die Artillerie derGaddafi-Truppen geraten war.

Die Aufständischen, die den Os-ten Libyens kontrollieren, hattenerst am Vortag den 100 Kilometerwestlich von Brega gelegenen Ölha-fen Ras Lanuf an die Regimetrup-pen verloren. Die Offensive derGaddafi-Streitkräfte gegen die Stadt

Misurata, die letzte Aufständischen-Hochburg im Westen des Landes,kam indes ins Stocken, nachdem inder angreifenden Brigade eine Meu-terei ausgebrochen war.

Die Außenminister der Arabi-schen Liga riefen am Samstag inKairo den Weltsicherheitsrat auf,

mit einer Flugverbotszone den liby-schen Luftraum zu kontrollierenund die Bombardements der Gadda-fi-treuen Luftwaffe auf Stellungender Rebellen zu stoppen.

Das Weiße Haus wertete die For-derung der Liga als „wichtigenSchritt“. Präsidentensprecher JayCarney sagte, damit werde der in-ternationale Druck auf Gaddafi er-höht. Die USA würden die Opposi-tion weiter unterstützen und „alleEventualitäten“ vorbereiten. Bun-desaußenminister Guido Wester-welle sagte am Sonntag: „Ich begrü-ße die klare Haltung der ArabischenLiga gegen die Verbrechen des Gad-dafi-Regimes.“ Die Situation in Li-byen sei besorgniserregend. „Dikta-tor Gaddafi führt weiter einen Krieggegen sein eigenes Volk.“ (dpa)

Miyagi, wo das Kraftwerk Onagawaliegt, sind vermutlich TausendeMenschen durch das Erdbeben undden anschließenden Tsunami umsLeben gekommen. Ein örtlicher Po-lizeichef sagte, er habe „keinenZweifel“, dass die Zahl der Totenbis auf über 10000 allein in Miyagisteigen werde. Die Stärke des Erd-bebens wurde derweil von 8,9 auf9,0 korrigiert. Dies bedeutet, dassdas Beben zehnmal stärker war alsbisher angenommen.

n 1. Front Pages.

n 2. Sectional Front Pages.

n 3. News pages. We are looking for examples of topical news pages. Coming into question here are exceptional events, journalistically and creatively presented in an outstanding manner. Pages about Fukushima belong to this category.

n 4. Local Pages. We are looking for examples for very well designed local pages. We would like to dedicate additional attention to the local part and it‘s development.

n 5. Inside Pages with Ads. Especially good examples of combinations of ads and editorial contributions on inside pages are wanted.

n 6. Photography. In that category the focus is on size, perspective, cut and variation of photographic formats within the layout.

n 7. Visual Storytelling. In this category it is all about reporting with visual resources. Pictures, infographics, supplement boxes and short texts create an innovative form of reporting.

n 8. Visualization. Here, outstanding photographic presentations of topics are sought for.

n 9. Photo Reportage. The design of reportage pages is assessed. On those pages photos should be the dominant means of conveying information.

n 10. Infographics.

n 11. Illustration.

n 12. Supplements. The entire concept of supplements is judged. You can send in weekend supplements as well as supplements published on special occasions.

n 13. Magazines. Magazines are printed on glossy paper, they are cut and bound. By this new category the competition will be opened toward magazine design.

20 Categories:

n 14. Special Pages. Single pages from supplements such as travel pages or pages concerning special occasions belong to this category.

n 15. Typography. In this category the entire typography of the newspaper is being assessed. Consequently it is not about single pages that were published about typography itself. It is rather the typography of the editorial part of your newspaper that the jury will set their focus on.

n 16. Concepts / Innovation. Have you introduced innovative contents or concepts? If so, send it in together with some explanatory notes.

n 17. Online. We are looking for the best news websites in this new category. The jury will be paying special attention to legibility, functionality and innovation. You can also participate with special topics. Please send a pdf file to e-mail: nkuepper@newspaperaward.org

n 18. iPad and Apps for mobile devices. We are looking for the best newspaper iPad applications and most innovative news-apps for mobile devices. In this new category the jury will be paying special attention to legibility, functionality and innovation. This is how you apply in this category: describe your application‘s specials and make them accessible for the jury. We have iPads to our disposal. Please send a pdf file to nkuepper@newspaperaward org

n 19. Women’s Soccer World Cup. Please do not send us all pages that have been published regarding this topic, but the best pages and a maximum of three complete supplements to this topic. All pages that deal with the Women’s Soccer World Cup including front pages, special pages and so on belong to this category.

n 20. Children’s pages: Supplements, whole pages or parts of pages that were especially designed for children. Please describe the concept briefly.

It is possible that the jury will create a new category during the judging process.

Basics:n It is up to you what categories you submit pages in. n Do not send in more than 12 submissions per category.

n The total charge for all submitted pages is 150 Euro per newspaper.

n Send only the individual newspaper pages, and not the complete newspaper containing the pages.

n You can stick any explanatory notes on the back of the page concerned.

n It’s best for you to mark the category, in which the particular page concerned is to be submitted, with a sticker on the back of that page.

n If the page is not self- explanatory, please make an additional comment in English or German at the bottom of the page. Bergens Tidende does that in a exemplary manner. The sheet is stuck to the back side and can be flipped to the front.

n We reserve the right to change the submissions category if we consider it a better match with greater chances.

n The same page should not be submitted in different categories.

n Sending back impossible. There are too many pages, so there is no chance to have the pages mailed back.

Please be aware of the followinguseful instructions:

Your participation‘s formation:n Please don’t send the newspaper page in lavishly designed folders or plastic wrappers. All submissions are supposed to have the same chances, which is why the jury will only judge newspaper pages and no portfolios of any kind.

n Computer print-outs or drafts are not admissible.

n The pages may not be stuck on carton.

n Double pages: Is is not enough to rip them out of the newspaper. That method tears the paper which destroys every layout. Double pages should be stuck together. The best way is to use tape on the back side of the page. Paperclips are not sufficient enough.

Participation in the online sector or iPad:n The best way is to send us a description of your website as pdf file. The advantage is that we can use direct internet links. The Portuguese newspaper “i” made plausible comments:

n iPad: Name the application. iPads are made available for the jury. n Please send the pdf with the explanations to nkuepper@newspaperaward.org.

In case you win an award:n If you win an award, the pdf files of the winner‘s pages will be needed. In this case double pages also have to be fited together correctly as one pdf file. The pdf files are needed to produce the yearbook and design the awards.

Frequently asked questions:

n Can you acknowledge the receipt of our pages? At some point we loose track of all the submissions so it is

impossible for us to send confirmations. We regain overview when the pages have been sorted according to the different categories.

n We missed the deadline.

Did we also miss this year‘s chance? No, you still have a chance to win. The jury holds their meeting

traditionally at the end of October. Everything that makes it‘s way until then, will take part in the competition.

n What are we supposed to submit in the category visualization?

It‘s about presenting a topic visually in a very incisive way. An example:

Considering the huge amount of submissions it is impossible for us to confirm the receipt of your entry.

LANDELIJKE EDITIE

“10% of the Dutch population between 16 and 69 take to the bottle to release themselves from their problems. Are you among them?“, is what the nationwide newspaper “AD“ from the Netherlands writes on this alarming, but well-known topic. The picture of a portrait seen double is a clever means of visualizing the effect of alcoholism on the brain.

n We forgot to submit important pages. Can we send them in late?

No problem. Please make a clear statement in which category you would like to have them placed.

n Which pages should be submitted in the category photo reportage?

A photo reportage tells a story mostly by it‘s pictures. It would be best if the pictures are placed in a logic order. An example taken from the newspaper Sydsvenskan:

n When do we get notice who won? Around the 15th of November, always around midnight we publish the winners on www.newspaperaward.org.

If you cannot find a list, you might want to reload the website. In December all participants get informed per e-mail about their detailed results because we need the winner‘s pages for

the yearbook and the certificates.

n How do the main winners get informed? Main winners will be contacted in advance, so we can work

together on a press release. That is why we need a contact person for the competition.

n When and where does the European Newspaper Congress take place?

During the congress we award the main prices and the Awards of Excellence. The congress takes place mostly in Vienna after Easter. The fix date will be set in spring. All competition partici-pants receive an invitation and a reduced participation fee.

n You still have questions? Please send us an e-mail: nkuepper@newspaperaward.org

or give us a call: ++49 (0) 21 59 91 16 15.

Judgement and criteria:

All pages will be sorted in the different categories. Later they will be placed on tables for judging.

n The members of the jury bring in all their knowledge about journalism, design and photography into the evaluation.

n In each category of the competition the best pages and ideas are looked for. What is innovative? What is new? What can one learn from this page? This are questions which are discussed by the jury.

n The standard of the design of the sent in papers has to be clearly above the normal. Therefore, it is not enough to make a neatly designed newspaper, which quite a number of papers try to achieve.

n A high standard in the use of visuals, including photographic cuts, the size of the photos and variation of formats is

required. Uniform sizes and formats and lack of care with photographic cuts are sure to make a negative impression on the jury.

n The layout of the pages should neither be too uniform nor too variable. If it is too uniform, it will be boring; if it is too

variable, it might appear chaotic. The winners have found the golden mean: a systematic use of fixed elements of design

for the entire newspaper.

n The layout has to be of professional quality. Block make-up and an unmistakable connection between text and picture

have to be guaranteed.

n Typographic elements have to be strictly used on all pages.

n The chief prizewinners are unconventional, distinctive and innovative in the widest sense in the use of their creative

and conceptual means.

n The present competition will put stronger emphasis on innovative concepts. This is considered in a special category.

The 11th competition‘s jury members discuss entries. From left to right: Haika Hinze, Die Zeit; Xymena Weiß-Gendera, Editorial-Design; Joachim Blum, Media Consultant; Martin Huisman, De Morgen, Belgium and Walter Jensen, Bergens Tidende, Norway. This year‘s jury will consist of nine members.

What is innovative? What is new? What can one learn from this page? This are questions which are discussed by the jury.
