January 2005
The Record won five awards in the 2003-04 Minnesota Newspaper Association contest.
The Record won first place out of nine entries in the general excellence category. In a tab listing the winners, a judge wrote, The Record is a "well-designed and easy-to-read newspaper. However, what really set it apart was the feature following the disappearance of Joshua Guimond." The feature "A Presence Remains" ran on April 29, 2004, two weeks before Guimond would have graduated.
The Record also won first place out of seven entries for best use of photography. The winning entry included the Sept. 23, 2004 issue featuring President Bush's campaign visit to St. Cloud.
The Record had three individual second place winners. Former editor in chief Austin DeCock was second out of 42 entries in column writing for his Oct. 16, 2003 column "Unplanned pregnancy."
DeCock was also part of the editorial board which placed second out of 12 entries for its Feb. 19, 2004 editorial on mass e-mails. Other board members included former editors Tony Capecchi, Tim Flagstad and Amber Streff.
Former sports editor Brad Arendt placed second out of 27 entries for best sports action/feature photo featuring David Meacham rowing in the Sept. 9, 2004 issue.
