NEWS / EVENTS
Paper Clips newsletter is sent out monthly to anyone employed by a MFCP member publication or associate member. If you would like to receive it, email us.
Whether in a classroom setting at a conference or via a Zoom call each month, we take learning and growing seriously! Members tell us over and over that the fresh ideas they garner via networking more than pay for their membership.
Each year we host our ad awards competition. Publishers throughout the Midwest submit their best work from the prior year. Divided into two divisions, graphic design and editorial, the contest has more than 60 classes to enter.
