With decades of history and a host of acclaimed journalists and titles among their past winners, the Regional Press Awards are the pinnacle of the UK's local journalism sector.

Attendance is invited from the entire spectrum of regional news brands, including newspapers and digital publications, individual journalists, teams and titles – all in the name of celebrating content that brings communities together and brings about real change.

Categories cover everything from young journalists to digital initiatives and the prestigious news brand of the year award, and most awards recognise both larger and smaller titles separately.
