National Yearbook Program of Excellence!
(login required)
Several of you have been asking about this new exciting program which will recognize you and your staff for all the hard work and extra efforts you are making. By default you are enrolled in the program. You will see an additional tab at the top right of the home page to help you track your progress. There are three criteria to meet to receive the award. In YTO the coverage report will now include a new blue "i" icon. Clicking this icon will allow you to see images this person has been tagged in and also the pages the image is located on. Clicking the image will take you to it in the image library. Clicking the page will take you to the page in the designer. Also, when you export information from the coverage report, you will see current purchaser information.

Photo Contest!
Take fabulous photos and get a chance to win amazing prizes! Entries are now being accepted in the 2012 Jostens Photo Contest. All senior, junior high and middle school students (grades 6-12) are eligible to enter.
Each photo will be judged on its ability to tell a story relevant to the high school, junior high or middle school experience. We’ll be looking at composition, artistic and emotional qualities; as well as technical quality. Be sure to check out the 2011 winning photographs here.
Download the PDF entry form (here) for a full list and description of categories and contest rules.
All entries must be postmarked by March 1, 2012 for consideration. We look forward to receiving your entries!
