Congratulations to NSPA’s 2017 Yearbook Pacemaker Finalists! We are proud of our Kansas schools and the time they have devoted to create some of the nation’s top publications.
According to NSPA’s website, 525 yearbooks entered the Pacemaker competition with 55 finalists named indicating the top 10 percent. In addition to demonstrating excellence in key areas including coverage, writing, editing, design and photography, the winning yearbooks took risks and told the story of the school year with a strong verbal and visual voice.
“The best yearbooks don’t recap events, they capture dynamic and authentic stories that focus on people,” Gary Lundgren, NSPA associate director said. “Today’s best yearbooks are remarkable journalistic publications with their own bold personalities.”
