INMA offers two category segments for entries so that similar submissions are judged against the others: National/International Brands and Regional/Local Brands. For media groups submitting work across multiple properties, here is the rule for submission: If one or more of the brands in an entry from a media group is national, then the entry should be submitted National/International Brands. If not, then the entry should be submitted under Regional/Local Brand.
A news brand that is nationally focused, typically associated with a newspaper, magazine, TV broadcaster, radio broadcaster, or digital news native. Such a brand often has global aspirations and is increasingly multi-media in nature.
