Are you ready for a contest

Can you believe it’s football season? Finally, after what felt like a long wait, the kids are back at two-a-days. The NFL’s grinding through training camp, and colleges are buzzing with last-minute roster shuffles and frenzied practices. And I don’t know about you, but I’m so excited I could chuck footballs around the backyard all day long.

With the addition of the Jasper County News, and of course with the Silsbee Bee and the Robertson County News, we’re hard at work putting together the annual football contest, and time is getting short. The contest is a great way for our readers to engage with your businesses through advertising, flipping through the ad page to find all the games they need to make their picks.

But it’s more than just in the newspaper. The contest is also featured on our website, as well as on the winner’s page for the week and the weekly contest page, giving your business double exposure through direct link clicks online. It’s a great way to get your business in front of more people, both digitally and in print, for a small investment.

The contest gives your business an incredible 27 weeks of advertising, running from August 2026 all the way through February 2027, with the Super Bowl serving as the grand finale of our annual contest. Even better, the cost is billed just four times—$145 per month for four months, ending in December 2026—while your advertising continues throughout the entire contest. That’s a tremendous value for one of the most popular contests in newspaper history, and with only a few advertising spots remaining, now is the time to get your business in the game.
