MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 Honoring the nation\u2019s best, the National Scholastic Press Association has named 16 scholastic magazines as finalists in its prestigious Pacemaker competition.<\/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

Pacemaker finalists will be recognized with plaques at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 16, at the Opening Ceremony of the Spring National High School Journalism Convention in Nashville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only the Pacemaker winners will be announced and will receive plaques at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, April 18, and the convention\u2019s closing Awards Ceremony, where both NSPA and Journalism Education Association honors will be presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NSPA Pacemaker award has a rich tradition and the association started presenting the award to high school newspapers a few years 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

To select the 16 finalists, a team of judges analyzed and discussed 96 entries from 29 states. From the 16 finalists, seven literary arts and one specialty magazine will earn Pacemaker honors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pacemaker finalists represent the top 17 percent and the Pacemaker winners represent approximately the top 10 percent of the entries. The magazines were published during the 2018-19 school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

To reflect trends in scholastic publishing, a specialty category was added in 2018 to recognize niche magazines devoted to in-depth reporting on a single topic. Traditional newsmagazines continue to compete in the Newspaper\/Newsmagazine Pacemaker competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written comments from the judges about each of the Pacemaker-winning magazines will be posted after the winners are announced along with overall comments and observations from the judges. The professional bios of the judges will also be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
