Finalists for the 2016 COPAs were announced Wednesday in the competition’s three divisions: Blue (Business/B2B/Trade/Academic), Red (Consumer) and Green (News).
The four COPA finalists from FBC in the Blue division this year include Country-Guide.ca, for Best Trade Media Website, and Grainews.ca, for Best Editorial Packaging.
