Stevenson High magazine wins national award
The 2011 edition of “The Wit,” Stevenson High School’s student literary arts magazine, has received another major honor, officials said.
The magazine picked up a first-place award from the American Scholastic Press Association, earning 930 out of a possible 1,000 points.
“The Wit” garnered the maximum 400 points in content coverage. In addition, a new layout featuring full-color spreads throughout the magazine earned a maximum 180 points.
“(The) magazine shows the superior efforts of talented and creative editors, writers, artists, photographers, layout/graphics designers, staff members and advisers,” a contest judge wrote.
In August, “The Wit” earned a First Class rating from the National Scholastic Press Association.
