Jostens Announces 2014 National Yearbook Program of Excellence Spring Award Winners
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) June 10, 2014 -- Jostens, the leading producer of yearbooks and student-created content, today announced the spring winners of Jostens' National Yearbook Program Award. The National Yearbook Program of Excellence recognizes engaging yearbooks that reflect a broad representation of the student body while helping students develop 21st century skills such as communication, collaboration, and information and communication technologies (ICT) literacy.
The National Yearbook Program of Excellence recognizes schools that embrace the yearbook tradition and have built a yearbook program that contributes to a positive school culture and climate that serves the entire school community.
Jostens' National Yearbook Program of Excellence Awards are presented twice a year, in spring and in fall for yearbooks delivered during the school year. The Awards are presented to yearbook programs that have achieved criteria in each of three categories: creating an inclusive yearbook; generating school engagement; and successfully managing the yearbook creation process.

"We understand that a great yearbook program does not just happen, and we are dedicated to helping schools, yearbook advisers and students to strengthen their programs by providing state of the art tools, resources and best practices that support the development and creation of award-winning yearbooks.”
