Urbana, the literary arts magazine at Eduardo J. Padrón Campus, won a Pinnacle Award on Friday from the College Media Association in the Two-Year Literary Magazine of the Year category.
Results were announced during the Associated Collegiate Press/College Media Association Fall National College Media Convention that is being held virtually from Oct. 14-16. Winners were selected based on work published during the 2020-21 school year.
“We’re really happy and thrilled,” said Emily Sendin, Urbana’s advisor. “We’ve done a lot this past year by going from just a print magazine to being a media source, without losing our literary and arts focus and flavor.”
Kendall Campus’ Miambiance, won second place in the category.
Urbana also won individual Pinnacles for Best Social Media Presence, Best Social Media Strategy and second place for Best Magazine Cover.
In addition, they were awarded an Innovation Pacemaker on Thursday, as well as two individual awards: first place in the Multimedia Story of the Year (blog category) and third place in the Best Use of Social Media: Social Media Promotion category.
