Congratulations to the winners of the 2014 KSPA monthly contests. The results listed here are partial due to delays in the judging of News Story, Feature Story and Yearbook Copy. Those results will be available before the end of the week.

Over 130 entries were submitted at www.kspaonline.org in 13 categories. Yearbook Spread Design and Photo Illustration categories received zero entries. Judges from across the country reviewed the entries for KSPA member schools and students.
