Overall Yearbook

Grand Prize:	2nd Place:	3rd Place:
Vincent J. Gallagher Middle School Yearbook Entry Description: Each of our student team names is based on the name of a gem. We incorporated the mining of gems theme throughout the yearbook. We placed our gem mine in a forest and included the "wood" theme throughout as well by using "wood" engraved headings and forest backgrounds.	Lisle Junior High 2017 Yearbook Entry Description: Classic grey look with incredible photo content. Our students enjoy pictures! We made that happen	Woodlake Valley Middle School Yearbook Entry Description: We had a summer of fires and students discussed fire being the theme but using it as passion.

Cover Design

1st Place:	2nd Place:	3rd Place:
Lisle Junior High 2017 Yearbook Entry Description: Student made, fits the grey interior theme.	Vincent J. Gallagher Middle School Yearbook Entry Description: Each of our student teams are based on a name of a gem. Our mascot is also a wolf. Therefore, we based our theme around a forest gem mine. On the cover, each each is representing each of our student and teacher teams based on their color. These colors are then seen on the Faculty and Staff pages linking the cover to the inside pages.	New Brighton Middle School 2017 Yearbook Entry Description: The yearbook students selected the theme, "Going Below the Surface," to reflect the NBMS student's dedication to giving 110% dedication to all that they do.

Page Layout Design

1st Place:	2nd Place:	3rd Place:
The Clinton School 2017 Yearbook Entry Description: We wanted this spread to be like a trendy NYC kid info page, like something out of a magazine or ad.	Academy Charter School 2017 Yearbook Entry Description: Each fall and spring the middle school students get to pick and focus for one week on a number of specialized classes. We wanted to highlight the variety of studies offered as well as incorporate group photos and individual photos to highlight the intensive study.	Infinity Charter School 2017 Yearbook Entry Description: The class was studying mummies and Egyptian culture along with chemical and physical changes. The class assignment was to mummify an "apple" to understand how to make observations and using the scientific method write down the process of what they observed based on what they assumed would be the final outcome of the apple.

Photography

1st Place:	2nd Place:	3rd Place:
Sandrey Photography 2017 Yearbook Entry Description: I was impressed how they were involved	Eton Academy 2017 Yearbook Entry Description: This photo was take by one of our Middle School students. She was very excited when we asked her to join our team. Over the course of the year we have worked on rule of thirds, cropping and composition, and even began teaching her manual mode. This picture was taken during recess and she learned to take several shots of something until you get that ‘one' shot you're after. This shot has great focus on the main subject creating a stronger perspective and depth of field.	ECHO Christian Academy 2017 Yearbook Entry Description: The students school journey is (to them) like a long tunnel! They can go off the path along the way, or keep to the middle of the road and successfully reach the end.
