Yearbook staffs rack up 14 awards during NSPA’s spring live awards ceremony, including two Best of Show finishes.
Twelve Balfour schools paced in the National Scholastic Press Association’s Best of Show Awards, Friday, April 17. The awards, normally given at the JEA/NSPA Spring National High School Journalism Convention, were announced via live video.
NSPA added a new Best of Show category this year, asking schools to submit publication coverage of COVID-19. In the yearbook category, Balfour took four of the 10 spots, including Best of Show by Rock Canyon High School.
