The National Scholastic Press Association is pleased to announce the first individual contest finalists in the 2010 NSPA “Roll-Out Week.” Each day this week, NSPA will announce finalists for one or more of the 2010 Individual Awards and Pacemaker contests.
The NSPA Picture of the Year contest is co-sponsored by the National Press Photographers Association and honors student photographers in six categories: News, Feature, Sports Action, Sports Reaction, Environmental Portrait and Jr. High/Middle School. The contest yielded a total of 1,092 entries, which represents an increase of about 23 percent from 2009. Entries were judged based on technical quality, artistic value and journalistic content.
