Mainebiz took three gold awards and one silver in the Alliance of Area Business Publications’ annual editorial excellence award contest.
Mainebiz won first places for overall design; feature layout (for last summer’s “The Recession (?) Survival Handbook”); personality profile (Sara Donnelly’s feature on Bethel entrepreneur Les Otten, “Into the fire”); and a second place for best overall newspaper in the small tabloid category. The awards were given at the AABP’s annual conference at Minneapolis over the weekend.
