The judge continued to remark, “Your magazine shows a meticulous eye for detail! Bravo!” Continuing her praise of Neshaminy’s Gold Ranked Magazine, she further stated, “Cover is trendy and fun; I am sure it was popular with students” and that the “Art and photography selections are beautifully presented and pair well with literary examples!” Christopher DiCicco and Dan Luongo advised the literary magazine last year.

The Playwickian newspaper staff, advised by veteran Tara Huber, was recognized for regularly looking beyond the campus for issues of concern to students. “You are not afraid to write about the hard and sensitive issues. You take risks on editorial pages – bravo!” The judge continued, “Nice job on social media presence. You did a great service to your readers. You also included Howler material. All great ways to provide coverage.”
