PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Entourage Yearbooks National Yearbook Competition is a national contest that judges school yearbooks on the dimensions of creativity, originality, and journalistic relevance. Hundreds of schools enter across all fifty states at the Elementary, Middle School, and very competitive High School levels. This year, a new video category was added to the Entourage Yearbooks Yearbook Competition to promote creativity and school spirit. Applicants were encouraged to share videos of Yearbook Distribution, unboxing, passing out the books, and promoting why their school loves yearbooks.
This achievement recognizes Monache High School for putting together a fantastic High School yearbook. It was selected from hundreds of schools that submitted entries nationwide.
"This book was strongly inspired by scrapbook and Polaroid," said Monache High School's Francisco Velazquez, "We began with a brainstorming activity, trying to move away from strictly template-based designs and use something a bit more original. We started by creating out templates completely from scratch, but most students struggled to keep things in order, so we moved to find a template that had a clean, and orderly look. Then, we began manipulating it to look the way that we wanted it to look. It took a great deal of work, but using aesthetics from the 80s, polaroid themes, and some ransom letters to complete the scrapbook look, we finished our idea and published it."
Other High School winners include New Brunswick High School (2nd Place), Hopi Junior Senior High School (3rd Place), Veritas Classical School - Alpharetta (4th Place), and Oakley Jr/Sr High School (5th Place). Entourage also recognized Grand Prize Middle School winner Anderson County Jr. High School and Grand Prize Elementary School winner Blessed Sacrament Catholic School.
