“Echoes & Visions,” the creative arts magazine at Wor-Wic Community College, won first place yet again in its category of publications from junior/community colleges with a student enrollment of more than 2,501 in the American Scholastic Press Association’s (ASPA) 2019 Scholastic Yearbook and Magazine Awards. The magazine also won first place in 2014, and first place with special merit in 2015 through 2018.

“I am thrilled that ‘Echoes & Visions’ has won first place again,” said Melissa Reddish, assistant professor of English and director of the honors program. “I appreciate everyone’s hard work on this publication and I feel that this award really says a lot about everyone involved.”

The winners were chosen based on the results of an item-specific 1,000-point rubric that evaluated each publication on every aspect of its quality, from the published contents to design and copy editing.

The ASPA has been holding the contest annually since 1980. The contest is open to all schools around the country.
