Two sister dailies have dominated the regional press nominations for the O2 Media Awards for Yorkshire and Humber for the second consecutive year.

The Yorkshire Post and Yorkshire Evening Post scored a total of 15 nominations between them, while the Hull Daily Mail received eight.

The YP and Daily Mail are joined on the shortlist for Best Newspaper (Daily) by the Huddersfield Daily Examiner, while the Goole Times & Selby Times, Bridlington Free Press, Whitby Gazette and Scarborough News will fight it out for the weekly category.

The awards will be presented at a ceremony held at Aspire, in Leeds city centre, on 28 September.

Nicola Green, director of corporate affairs at O2, said: “These awards grow from strength to strength both in terms of diversity and quality. The entries demonstrate how Yorkshire remains home to some fantastic media talent and is also producing the media stars of the future.

“The judges had a marathon task and had some very difficult decisions to select overall winners from a brilliant line-up of finalists. All of this year’s entries were strong and those who are nominated should feel extremely proud of their achievements.”
