Within the First South Central Press Awards framework, the Organising Committee received 250 entries in four press categories. Through two preliminary and final rounds, the Organising Committee selected 22 entries, including two first prizes, four second prizes, six third prizes and ten consolation prizes.
According to the jury, this year's entries are of quite high quality in terms of content and form of expression, rich in topics and perspectives.
