The Daily News Women’s Photograph Contests
March is Women’s History Month. Our site always centers women’s history; this month we’ll do so a bit more emphatically.
One hundred years ago today … the Daily News was hosting concurrent contests for women: a beauty contest and a “Funnyface” contest.

Photographs for this contest should be marked, care the "Funnyface" Editor, while the beauty pictures should go to “Beauty.” Both care of the DAILY NEWS, 25 City Hall place, New York City.
