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

The literary arts magazine winners, plus the 2024 Innovation Pacemaker, 2024 Online Pacemaker and 2024 Yearbook Pacemaker winners, were announced during the closing awards ceremony of the JEA\/NSPA Spring National High School Journalism Convention, on April 26.<\/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

\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<\/div>\n\n\n\n
