Y-26. Feature Presentation – Individual Spread<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Entries may include unusual feature spreads from any section and Wow\/Show Stopper\/Interrupter spreads that explore a topic; typically non-traditional coverage (i.e., NOT<\/em><\/strong> homecoming, a sport or other annual activity typically covered every year in the book). Subject selection, writing, photography and design will be considered. Submit 1 PDF or image file of the spread for each entry.  If any element of the entry was not produced by students (including images and\/or page design templates) please indicate that clearly on the entry form in the \u201cNon Student Work\/Copyright\u201d field. FOR SPREADS (a spread is two facing pages), if possible <\/strong>save your entry as a spread<\/a>, creating a single horizontal page out of two vertical pages. Otherwise, the judges may not see both pages of your spread together and will not get the full impact of your design<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
