Entourage Yearbooks announces winners of the 6th Annual Yearbook Contest!
In May 2015, almost a thousand school yearbooks were submitted to the annual yearbook contest by Entourage Yearbooks. After careful review, the winners are ready to be announced. According to Sara Aniano, an Entourage representative, this year saw the most competitive entries in the six years the contest has been held. The High School division of the competition has added two awards this year for five winners in the overall yearbook/ theme category.
The yearbook contest is much more than a showcase for creativity. For some schools, the contest has been a catalyst in students’ lives. The competition participants have told Entourage Yearbooks that the student designers have been motivated and inspired after seeing the results and have even included their participation on resumes.
