“Echoes & Visions,” the creative arts journal at Wor-Wic Community College, won first place yet again in the American Scholastic Press Association’s (ASPA) 2024 Scholastic Magazine Awards. The magazine has earned first-place honors every year since 2014.
“This award continues the journal’s long tradition of publishing excellent creative writing and artwork,” said Dr. Lawrence Blasco, assistant professor of English and advisor for the publication. “All the contributors, as well as the students on the editorial staff, deserve congratulations for winning these national accolades honoring the skill, talent, creativity, passion and hard work showcased in these pages.”
The winners were chosen based on the results of an item-specific, 1,000-point rubric that evaluated each publication on every aspect of its quality, from the published contents to design and copy editing.
The ASPA has been holding the contest annually since 1980. The contest is open to all schools around the country. Submissions for “Echoes & Visions” are accepted from any current or former student.
