Five universities were named cover finalists including Baylor University, North Carolina State University, Rice University, Texas A&M University and the University of Miami. In the Yearbook Page/Spread category, the Agromeck has one finalist while the Aggieland, Ibis and Roundup snagged two spots each.

ACP will announce the winners in the design categories and other Individual Award contests virtually Oct. 14 at 5 p.m. CT during the Fall National College Media Convention.
