KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI \u2014 Honoring the nation\u2019s best, National Scholastic Press Association named seven scholastic literary arts magazines as prestigious Pacemaker winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The literary arts magazine winners, plus the 2023 Innovation Pacemaker, 2023 Online Pacemaker and 2023 Yearbook Pacemaker winners, were announced for the first time during the closing awards ceremony of the JEA\/NSPA Spring National High School Journalism Convention, on April 6.<\/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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A team of three judges studied every entry, discussing its strengths. The status of each entry was agreed upon by at least two of the three judges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the process was completed, 17 literary arts magazines, representing the top 35 percent of all entries, were named as 2023 Pacemaker finalists<\/a> on March 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seven Pacemakers represent six states. In all, entries from 10 states were recognized as either finalists or Pacemaker winners. Florida led with five magazines receiving recognition, followed by Illinois, Missouri and Texas each with two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe literary arts magazines selected by the judges reflect both classic and contemporary formats,\u201d said Gary Lundgren, associate director and coordinator of the Pacemaker competition. \u201cThe quality of the art, photography, poetry and prose showcased on the pages of these magazines is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Award-winning literary arts magazine advisers from three states served on the judging team. Judges did not participate in the evaluation or discussion of magazines from their own schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reflect trends in scholastic publishing, a specialty magazine category was added to the Pacemaker competition in 2018 to recognize niche magazines devoted to in-depth reporting on a single topic. Five 2023 Specialty Magazines Pacemaker<\/strong><\/a> winners were announced in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
