CSPA's Crown Awards

The CSPA's Crown Awards are prestigious honors given by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association to recognize excellence in student-produced publications, such as newspapers, magazines, and yearbooks. Schools submit their work for evaluation across various categories, and a panel of judges reviews the entries based on design, content, and overall impact. Awards are categorized into gold, silver, and bronze levels, highlighting the best publications and celebrating the hard work of student journalists and their advisors. This recognition encourages high standards in scholastic journalism and supports the growth of media skills among students.
