NSPA now offering inside look at Pacemaker judging

Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE

If your yearbook staff holds ambitions of becoming a national Pacemaker winner or Pacemaker Finalist, the National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) is now providing an online resource that could help staffs get there.

A sampling of judge’s comments for each of the recently announced 2016 Yearbook Pacemaker winners – pointing out various strengths from the books – are now online at the NSPA’s website.

Along with the judging highlights, the cover and two spreads from each of the winning entries are also displayed.

The page provides yearbook staffs a great look at what nationally award-winning books do well in the eyes of the judges, regarding coverage, design and theme, and what they can aim for when taking their yearbook program to the next level.
