In 1987, the NSPA Hall of Fame was established for member student publications which have earned 10 All American ratings from the publication critique service within an 11-year span. Hall of Fame inductees receive a special honor plaque to mark the induction and are added to the NSPA Hall of Fame plaques, which are displayed at our JEA/NSPA high school journalism conventions.
New Hall of Fame inductions are made twice a year. The complete list of Hall of Fame members is available on our website.
Advisers who believe their publication has achieved Hall of Fame status may apply for the Hall of Fame by writing a letter indicating the name of the publication, the years the publication received All American ratings and publication/adviser contact information. Mail the letter to NSPA Hall of Fame, 2221 University Ave. SE, Suite 121, Minneapolis, MN 55414. The letter must be received by Sept. 15 to be inducted at the fall convention or Feb. 15 to be inducted at the spring convention.
