The cover art of the Seeds in the Black Earth Volume XXIV. This was the latest Seeds Literary and Arts Magazine, published during the 2014-2015 school year.

Seeds Literary and Arts Magazine has been chosen as finalist for the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Crown Awards. Sixty print magazines and seven hybrid magazines were chosen as Finalists for the CSPA Crown Awards to be presented in March 2016 at ceremonies in New York City. The magazines were published during the 2014-15
academic year.

The Crown Awards honor top student publications chosen from CSPA’s members. Crowns are selected for overall excellence in a head-to-head comparison. Student publishing in news, magazine, yearbook or digital (online) formats are all eligible. During Crown consideration, publications are judged on their excellence as shown by their design, photography, concept, coverage and writing.

Crown Finalists are not nominees but actual winners. Some will be announced as Gold Crowns; the rest are Silver Crowns. Final results will be announced and presented at the CSPA ceremonies in March 2016.

This award should be shared by all art areas that submitted to the book. Visual, Digital, Communications, Dance, Music and Theatre all contributed to this book. Aleya Zenieris and Kayla Azoy were last year’s editors.
