Idaho Press Club / IPC Judging Dashboard 2025
Welcome to the 2025 Idaho Press Club / IPC awards program judging dashboard. The process is very easy.
Scroll down to the bottom of this page for links to the judging grids by DIVISION, then categories
What you should expect during the process.
- All video entries will run from YouTube. Feel free to view full screen
- All audio, images and documents will playback or will appear in our embedded view / player. Any documents and / or images can be made to go full screen
- Articles may be submitted from a website. This will take you out of our Best in Media system, but should open in a new tab. You may be subjected to adverts or pop-ups while on their site.
- Note: A PDF file does not stream. It needs to complete the download before it appears. They also tend to be large files. This could take a couple of moments longer depending on your internet speed.
- Links submitted by the entrant should take you directly to the article or content you have been asked to view. You might need a paywall login to access the media. That information will be located in the entry name box
- If a link opens in a new tab, simply close the tab and return to the Best in Media site. If it overwrites the same tab, click back in your browser to return to Best in Media.
Note: The below example is from a prior year judging, but looks the same as this years

Judging Grids:
Divisions: All divisions will be ready for judging by Thursday, February 13th. Any division below that is already a link, that division is ready now.
Note to Publication Daily Judges. There are a lot of articles that sit behind a PAYWALL. There is only about 6 username / passwords that cover the entries contained in this Division. The username and password is included in the ENTRY TITLE box, and the box is highlighted in a very light BLUE. If your browser prompts you to save the username and password, do it so from that point on you'll be able to auto-fill it and get into the article much quicker
