Every November, The Guilfordian submits two newspaper issues to the American Scholastic Press Association's "Annual Contest/Review for Scholastic Yearbooks, Magazines, and Newspapers." This year, the contest named The Guilfordian the "Most Outstanding College Newspaper for 2008." This is the first time that The Guilfordian has received this honor.
The Guilfordian also won a second award, "First Place With Special Merit," in the category for colleges and universities with enrollments greater than 2500.
Special merit is given to the top 10 college or university newspapers in each enrollment category. Other newspapers that received special merit in the same category include Villanova University, Brandeis University, and the University of California, Irvine.
The Guilfordian won another first-place honor in a national contest earlier this year. On Nov. 2 it was named "Best in Show" for its category at the Associated Collegiate Press' 2008 National College Media convention in Kansas City, MO.
