Powell Middle School’s The Prowl yearbook and Arapahoe High School’s Calumet yearbook have been chosen as Finalists for Crown Awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA).

Fifty-nine print yearbooks and seven hybrid yearbooks were chosen as Finalists for the CSPA Crown Awards to be presented in March 2018 at ceremonies in New York City. The yearbooks were published during the 2016-17 academic year.

The Crown Awards honor top student publications chosen from CSPA’s members. Crowns are selected for overall excellence in a head-to-head comparison. Student publishing in news, magazine, yearbook or digital (online) formats are all eligible. During Crown consideration, publications are judged on their excellence as shown by their design, photography, concept, coverage and writing. A total of 1,100 publications were eligible for judging.

Crown Finalists are actual winners, not nominees. Some will be announced as Gold Crowns; the rest are Silver Crowns. Final results will be announced and presented at the CSPA ceremonies in March 2018.
