SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 Honoring the nation\u2019s best, National Scholastic Press Association has named 19 scholastic yearbooks as prestigious Pacemaker winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The yearbook winners, plus the 2023 Innovation Pacemaker, 2022 Literary Arts Magazine Pacemaker and 2023 Online Pacemaker winners, were announced during the closing awards ceremony of the JEA\/NSPA Spring National High School Journalism Convention, on April 22 in San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Pacemaker is the association\u2019s preeminent award,\u201d Executive Director Laura Widmer said. \u201cNSPA is honored to recognize the best of the best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NSPA Pacemaker, one of the oldest awards for scholastic journalism, has a rich tradition. The association started presenting the prestigious award to high school newspapers soon after the organization was founded in 1921. Throughout the years, yearbooks, magazines, online sites and broadcast programs were added to the competition. The organization celebrated its 100th birthday in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe yearbooks selected as Pacemaker finalists represent strong visual and verbal storytelling. The judges were highly selective selecting approximately 20 percent of the entries,\u201d associate director Gary Lundgren said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two teams of three judges devoted three days to the judging and studied every entry, discussing its strengths. The status of each entry was agreed upon by at least two of the three judges. Judges did not see their own yearbooks or hear discussion about the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judges, from six states, served on two rotating teams, and all six have advised Pacemaker-winning publications \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makena Busch, <\/strong>Washington
Justin Daigle,<\/strong> Colorado
Jim McCrossen,<\/strong> Kansas
Lindsey Shirack,<\/strong> Texas
Becky Tate,<\/strong> Kansas
Mitch Ziegler,<\/strong> California<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the process was completed, 44 finalists were named representing the top 15 percent of all entries. In April, 19 yearbooks earned Pacemaker awards, representing the top 6 percent. There are four junior\/high and middle school winners and 15 high schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yearbooks from 13 states earned Pacemaker awards. Kansas set the pace with four winners, followed by Texas with three and California with two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collegiate yearbook Pacemaker finalists will be announced by the Associated College Press, the NSPA collegiate organization, in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written comments from the judges about each of the 19 Pacemaker-winning yearbooks will be shared in May as part of an NSPA Pacemaker Master Class. The webinar will include an interview with the judges, and a presentation showcasing the yearbooks will be available for download for classroom use. Selected Pacemaker-winning yearbooks will also be available for download for study and inspiration. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
