CSPA Announces 2011 Online Magazine and Newspaper Crown Finalists

The Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) announced the finalists of their 2011 online newspaper competition on February 16, 2011 at Columbia University in the City of New York.

Edmund J. Sullivan, executive director of the Association, released the names of the 19 high school and 9 college finalists, citing that each of these publications will receive either a Gold or Silver Crown in March, 2011. There will be no further judging.

Collegiate Crown Award finalists will be presented with either a Gold or Silver Crown Award during the College Media Convention at the CSPA Award ceremony on March 13, 2011 at the Marriott Marquis in New York, NY.

The Awards Convocation for Scholastic Crown recipients will take place during CSPA's 87th annual Convention, on Friday, March 18, 2011 in the Roone Arledge Auditorium of the Alfred Lerner Student Center on Columbia's Morningside Heights campus.

The decisions of the Crown Judges are final. Only when results are released by the CSPA should they be considered authoritative.

Finalists are winners, not nominees. Each finalist will be revealed as either a Gold or Silver Crown at the awards ceremonies.

Questions, comments or concerns about the judging process should be addressed to the CSPA Executive Director.

For further information, contact the CSPA directly.
