Quill and Scroll are excited to announce its 2021 Yearbook excellence contest. A few changes have been made. This year the contest will be held under two different classes. The schools having an enrollment of more than 1000 students in classes 9 to 12 will be able to participate under Class A and the schools having an enrollment below 1000 students will be able to participate under Class B of the competition. The 18 categories have been expanded to 30, including cover design, performing arts spread, performing photography spread, pandemic spread, pandemic photography, etc. Theme Development entries will be $10 and all the other entry charges are $5.
The winning schools under each class will be awarded the Blue and Gold Award for Staff Excellence and the top three schools under the categories of design, photography, and writing will also be awarded. This can be the chance for schools to prove the ability of their students. The Yearbook Excellence Contest will enhance the creativity among students helping them to make their yearbook innovative and attractive. Since the contest has been divided into 2 classes, this is add-on advantage.
