The Inky Awards are given out annually to the members of the Inkblot who produced the best work for the Inkblot during the year, as determined by the adviser, journalism teacher Andi Mulshine.
The award winners receive a miniature Inkblot front page with their award and the title of their winning entry on the back.
The awards are based on the Columbia Scholastic Press Assocation’s criteria and categories for its national contest.
All Inky award-winning stories, photos, cartoons and page designs are entered into the CSPA contest, which will announce its national winners in September 2014.
Be sure to press CTRL + F to quickly locate the award or award winner you are looking for.
