As an experiment this year, we used actual student enrollment to create Classifications for this contest, rather than going with CHSAA classes (3A, 4A and 5A). Yearbook entries were divided differently from Newspaper, attempting to account for the very large number of entries from larger high schools. We are eager for member reaction to this and suggestions for future contests. The CHSPA board will be developing a plan for a separate website category for Best of Colorado, and would love to hear from members on this initiative. Please contact [email protected] (or any board member) with your comments.
