Ohio News Photographers Association Collection SPEC.CGA.ONPA Compiled by Luther Boren. Introduction The Ohio News Photographers Association voted at its annual meeting in 1983 to make The Ohio State University Libraries the repository for a collection of its annual contest winning photographic prints. Professor Tom Hubbard of the OSU School of Journalism was instrumental in saving these prints and having them placed in a public repository. The finding aid for the collection is arranged both chronologically and by size (because the photographic prints were required to be mounted to uniform sizes). Judging categories vary by year and are listed with the size of the entry prints, with oversize materials (41 x 50 cm.) listed separately. Series one includes mounted prints, most 28 x 36 cm. in two sub-series: Winners 1979-1999; and Non-winners 1979,1980,1982,1985, 1986, 1991 and undated photographs. Series two includes oversize mounted prints, most 41 x 50 cm., in two sub-series: Winners 1960, 1965-1976; and Non-winners 1968, 1970, 1972-1977 and undated photographs. Series three includes ONPA assorted release forms 1977-1991; assorted issues of Ohio News Photographer, the ONPA newsletter, for 1955-1997; and videotape entries for the 1985 contest.
