Entourage Yearbooks Announces Winners of 6th Annual Yearbook Contest

In May of 2015, almost a thousand school yearbooks were submitted to the annual yearbook contest by Entourage Yearbooks. After careful review, the winners are ready to be announced. According to Sara Aniano, an Entourage representative, this year saw the most competitive entries in the six years that the contest has been held. In fact, the High School division of the contest has added two awards this year for a total of five winners in the overall yearbook/ theme category.

The yearbook contest is much more than a showcase for creativity. For some schools, the contest has been a catalyst in the lives of students.
