LITERARY MAGAZINE
SELECTED FOR 10TH STRAIGHT FIRST-PLACE AWARD
Gannon University’s literary magazine Totem was chosen for its 10th
consecutive first-place award in the American Scholastic Press
Association’s annual magazine competition.
In addition, this year’s first-place
award also came with a “special merit” designation. “Your magazine shows
the efforts of talented and creative editors, writers, artists,
photographers, layout designers, staff members and advisor,” the ASPA
(College Point, N.Y.), said in a letter to the publication’s staff.
The Totem is produced
by Gannon students and includes works of poetry, fiction, short stories,
art, photography and graphic design done by both Gannon students and
faculty.
Entries to the competition
were judged on five areas: content coverage, organization, design,
presentation, and creativity. The Totem received perfect scores in
content coverage and creativity. Overall, the publication earned 960 out
of a possible 1,000 points. Last year’s edition of the Totem scored
a 940.
Gannon University students
Danielle Petrozelle, a senior occupational therapy major, and Christian
Peterson, a senior English major, served as co-editors of the publication.
Berwyn Moore, associate
professor of English, served as faculty advisor.
