Throughout the first week of December, CSPA announced the finalists in print, digital and hybrid publication categories, culminating with the yearbook finalists Friday. More than 800 digital, newspapers, magazines and yearbooks published during the 2019-20 school year were eligible for judging. The judging panel selected 61 middle school, high school and collegiate yearbook finalists this year. CSPA dates the awards from the year they are given. The 2021 Crown Finalists will learn in March if they won a Silver or Gold Crown. For the second year in a row, CSPA will announce winners virtually because of COVID restrictions. Congratulations to all the finalists! **![20_Bowie cover_](https://blog.balfour.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tuesday%20Tips/2020_Dec/20_Bowie%20cover_.png?width=749&name=20_Bowie%20cover_.png)Bowie High School ***Lone Star *Adviser Lindsey Shirack Editors Logan Dorsey, Ryan Kinney & Emma Wake Austin, Texas **![20_ESD cover_](https://blog.balfour.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tuesday%20Tips/2020_Dec/20_ESD%20cover_.png?width=749&name=20_ESD%20cover_.png)Episcopal School of Dallas ***Carillon *Adviser Ana Rosenthal Editors Caroline Massey, Rachel Morrow & Kate Flanagan   Dallas, Texas   **![20_Hill Country cover_](https://blog.balfour.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tuesday%20Tips/2020_Dec/20_Hill%20Country%20cover_.png?width=748&name=20_Hill%20Country%20cover_.png) ****Hill Country Christian School ***The Bard *Adviser John Horvath Editor Lauren Innis Austin, Texas   **![20_Memorial cover_](https://blog.balfour.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tuesday%20Tips/2020_Dec/20_Memorial%20cover_.png?width=860&name=20_Memorial%20cover_.png)Memorial High School ***Reata *Adviser Holly Hartman Editors Hannah Khairandish, Ava Lahijani & Amanda Neal Houston, Texas   **![20_NC State cover_ copy](https://blog.balfour.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tuesday%20Tips/2020_Dec/20_NC%20State%20cover_%20copy.png?width=860&name=20_NC%20State%20cover_%20copy.png)North Carolina State University ***Agromeck *Adviser Martha Collins Editor Julia Harrison Raleigh, North Carolina   **![Rock C](https://blog.balfour.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tuesday%20Tips/2020_Dec/Rock%20C.png?width=749&name=Rock%20C.png)Rock Canyon High School ***The Black & Gold* Adviser Kristi Rathbun Editors Kinley Rex & Emma Shea Highland Ranch, Colorado **![20_Vista Ridge cover_](https://blog.balfour.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tuesday%20Tips/2020_Dec/20_Vista%20Ridge%20cover_.png?width=749&name=20_Vista%20Ridge%20cover_.png)Vista Ridge High School ***The Lonestar *Adviser Jamie Ray Editor Mackenzi Steczkowski Cedar Park, Texas ### Sign up to get yearbook tips and best practices straight to your inbox! ![Balfour horizontal with tag White-01](https://blog.balfour.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Balfour%20horizontal%20with%20tag%20White-01.png?width=247&height=191&name=Balfour%20horizontal%20with%20tag%20White-01.png)   Get News and Discounts on Balfour Products! ### Get News and Discounts on Balfour Products! 2024 Commemorative Brands, Inc.
