2019 Yearbook Excellence Contest Winners

,

Calvary Day, McKinney earn top Blue and Golds

Judges evaluated 1,439 entries and selected 206 national winners in the 2019 Yearbook Excellence Contest.

Professional journalists and graphic designers, and retired Hall of Fame yearbook advisers served as judges. Their comments on the first-, second- and third-place winners will be available when the Winners’ Slide Show is available later in January 2019.

Yearbook staff members recognized in this year’s contest received Gold Keys and the opportunity to apply for Quill and Scroll scholarships. For a complete list of winners, see below. Sweepstakes Winners (First Place) will receive plaques from Quill and Scroll. The 2019 contest had two enrollment divisions (A = 750 students or more; B = 749 students or fewer) and 18 subject categories, making for 36 Sweepstakes winners. Some categories did not have honorable mentions because judges were instructed to award approximately 10 percent to 15 percent of the entries.
