We’re very pleased to share that The BV has once again been shortlisted for Regional Publication of the Year at the 2026 Newspaper & Magazine Awards.
This marks our fourth time on this national shortlist, and follows our previous win in 2024.
The category includes The Chronicle, Manchester Evening News, The Irish News and The West Dorset Magazine.
Independent and digital from inception, The BV is rooted in rural Dorset, with magazine-led journalism and sustained public-interest reporting. We are grateful to our readers and partners whose support makes recognition like this possible.
Winners are announced in London in April.
