Every year, all printed elementary school, middle school and high school yearbooks are automatically entered into our Best Yearbook Contest. Depending on your school’s grade level, you are entered into one of two Categories: Elementary School or Middle School/High School.

Yearbooks are judged on the following four criteria:

Overall Originality
Yearbook Creativity
Yearbook Theme Consistency
Yearbook Image Quality

Oh, and it’s not just for bragging rights. The prizes are as follows:

Middle School /High Schools:
1st Place: $250
2nd Place: $150

Elementary Schools:
1st Place: $250
2nd Place: $150
Cover Honorable Mention / Student Drawing – $100
