The yearbooks are judged by a panel of journalism and journalism education professionals.

The Crown finalists are in high school and middle school/junior high categories. These yearbooks will receive either Gold Crown or Silver Crown awards and will be honored March 22 during the CSPA’s annual Spring Scholastic Convention at Columbia University in New York City.
