April 2015 Monthly Contest Winners

The final monthly contest of the year yielded more great work from Kansas high school journalists. While submissions were down a bit (94 total submissions across all categories), we have 41 outstanding winners showcased below.

Noteworthy results from this month? Zia Kelly of Lawrence High School scored two first places: News Writing and Opinion Writing. Another student with a double-win, Grace Amundson of Shawnee Mission Northwest High School, earned first places in both Infographic and Newspaper design contests.

Blue Valley High School and Kapaun Mt. Carmel led the team awards with five awards each. Four schools matched award totals with four awards each: Blue Valley Southwest, Lawrence High School, Lawrence Free State High School and Pittsburg High School.

With this contest wrapping the 2014-2015 academic year of contest, the KSPA monthly contests will return at the start of school next year.

Thanks so much for your great work and your competitive spirit this year. What a great collection of work!
