Gold Circle Awards honor personal best

The Columbia Scholastic Press Association's 26th annual Gold Circle Awards program, its annual competition for individual achievement by student writers, editors, designers and photographers, attracted 12,037 entries from colleges, universities and secondary schools throughout the United States.

Of those entries, only 1,831 received either a First, Second, Third Place or Certificate of Merit Award during the 2009 competition.

These entries came from 451 publications from the United States, Canada and international schools following the American plan of education.

Many new awards categories were added in the most sweeping revision of this competition since it began in 1984. Among the changes were new categories for online media.

Entries were accepted from student newspapers, magazines, yearbooks and videos either originally printed or broadcast from November 2, 2007 through November 1, 2008.
