Columbia Scholastic Press Association
Membership has its benefits
The CSPA membership offers several contests and a critique service
for student media.
The contests include the annual Crown Awards and the Gold Circle
Awards. The Crown Awards signify overall excellence among student
print and online media. The Gold Circle Awards honor the best work
completed by student reporters, editors, designers, photographers,
artists, poets, fiction writers, and other staff members of all types.
An annual Medalist Critique is an evaluation, not a contest, although
it does provide one of several ratings to student media. The critique
is a teaching tool to provide detailed guidance on how well a student
print or online media is currently progressing, and how it could
improve during the following year.
The CSPA’s contests are not about compelling involuntary changes
by student editors and faculty advisers of student print and online
media. The Association makes no attempt to dictate to staffs or
advisers what their publications should be. It watches keenly what
these media do, as evidenced by their publishing activity in print or
online. The Association then adjusts it sights, its critique scorebooks
and its judging to their progress. As the performance by student
media improves, the best among them are singled out for their
achievement, accounting for a natural rise in the judging standards
for the following year.
