Regional Editor Andrew Colley said: 'This series of nominations for our Oxford-based teams in editorial, advertising, sales and the print centre is a testament to the huge amount of hard work which goes in to serving our community.
'2024 was a huge news year for the city and county and day-in, day-out our reporters on the ground delivered essential trusted local news to our tens of thousands of readers.
'We've broken major exclusives, launched agenda-setting investigations and put our name to campaigns to champion Oxfordshire.
'There has never been a more important time to do what we do. We are fortunate to have a strong, loyal readership which is growing across our platforms as we continue to see record digital performances. Thank you for your support.
'Finally, a huge thank you to my formidable team of editors and reporters who continue to show they are the best in the business.'
The Oxford Print Centre will be competing against Discovery Print, Interpress NI, Mortons Print and Newsquest Scotland.
Newsquest Oxfordshire print manager Jerry Secker said: 'We're thrilled to be nominated for the award again after we won it in 2021.'
The 2025 Newspaper Awards will be focused entirely on recognising excellence in the printed newspaper.
Gary Cullum, director of Newspaper Awards, said 'Newspaper print is in decline, that is an undeniable fact. However, the printed newspaper remains integral to the success and profitability of the news media industry. Printed newspapers will evolve for many years to come and will continue to be published alongside their digital counterparts.
'The 2025 Newspaper Awards will focus on production and innovation in national, international, regional, weekly and hyperlocal newspapers. It will recognise the skill and expertise of all the employees involved in producing the printed publication.'
