More than 150 people were present for the awards, at the new Adelaide Oval, which recognised the best work in journalism, photography and advertising from newspapers across the state.
The Murray Valley Standard took home the coveted Best Newspaper award for mastheads with a circulation of between 2,500 and 6,000 - for the 10th year in a row.
Editor Sharon Hansen said the win was the result of a strong team of journalists working together.
Mrs Hansen refused to concede 2015 would be a shoe-in for the paper to take home the Best Newspaper title for the 11th time, especially with a fairly new team of journalists now at work in the Murray Bridge office.
