The ACP Pacemaker Award, one of the oldest awards for collegiate journalism, has a rich tradition. The association began presenting the prestigious award to collegiate newspapers soon after the organization was founded in 1921. Through the years, yearbooks, magazines and online sites were added to the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February, seven yearbooks were named Pacemaker finalists.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese yearbooks deliver engaging verbal and visual stories, showcasing superior photojournalism, writing and design,\u201d said Gary Lundgren, associate director and coordinator of the Pacemaker competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yearbooks produced during the 2024-25 school year competed directly against each other. A team of nationally recognized judges selected the finalists and Pacemakers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
