20 magazines finalists for excellence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 The nation\u2019s top scholastic literary arts magazines were recognized today by the National Scholastic Press Association, which announced 20 finalists in its annual 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 honored and will receive plaques during the opening ceremony of the JEA\/NSPA Spring National High School Journalism Convention at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 7, in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacemaker winners will be announced for the first time at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, April 9, at the convention\u2019s awards ceremony.<\/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 is celebrating its 100th birthday this year.<\/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

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, 20 finalists were named representing the top 30 percent of all entries. In April, six magazines will earn Pacemakers \u2014 representing the top 10 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Literary arts magazines  from 11 states earned Pacemaker-finalist status. Florida set the pace with four finalists, followed by Arkansas, Illinois and Texas with three finalists each. 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. Three 2021 Specialty Magazines Pacemaker<\/a> winners were announced in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
