Grand Prize:
Carbon Career & Technical Institute Yearbook – Pe
Entry Description: After brainstorming a list of possible topics, the yearbook staff voted on “A Piece of the Puzzle" as the theme for the 2012 yearbook. They felt that it was especially appropriate for our school since it is a career & technical school which prepares its students to fill a variety of career roles, like pieces in society’s puzzle. The design concept flowed naturally from the theme.
