GOLD

The Bement School

Deerfield, MA USA

SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
Bement Bulletin's 100th Anniversary issue cleverly features 100 blurbs as front matter, from a timeline and trivia to quotes and academic updates. It's fun reading that you can put down and come back to again and again. A "Then and Now" spread with pictures of former students and their current selves (who now work at Bement) is great — I found myself trying to match "then" with "now." Engaging!

Love the 100 highlights for 100 years!

SILVER

Wednesday Seven for Episcopal Day School of St. Matthew

San Mateo, CA USA

SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
Episcopal's Our Day magazine is a delight. From the cheerful illustrations to the use of circles, lines, and angled elements, the publication exudes joy. It weaves in stories about academics with adventure and play. Departments like Schoolhouse Showdown (Mad Libs), and Share Your Mustang play up the experiential side of a hands-on publication. A perfect magazine for this pre-k to grade 8 school.

Love the illustrations, use of color, and whimsical nature.
