The Associated Collegiate Press named five Balfour schools as Design of the Year finalists as part of their 2021 Individual Awards announcement.

Balfour schools dominated the two yearbook design categories, taking five of the nine cover finalist spots and seven of ten yearbook spread spots.

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.
