50 finalists have been selected in the 2010 ACP Online Pacemaker contest out of a total of 242 entries. The contest has grown dramatically in recent years, with 2010 yielding a record total of entries and representing an increase of eight percent from 2009.
In past years, entries for three of the categories were divided based on websites’ corresponding print publication frequency. In 2010, sites were divided into the following new categories: over 10,000 student enrollment, under 10,000 enrollment, online-only and other (magazine, yearbook or broadcast).
The contest was judged by a panel of professionals with extensive online media experience. Judges noted that the most successful sites displayed excellence in multimedia story telling, writing and editing, site design, in-depth and complete coverage, interactivity, and graphics and photography.
Online Pacemaker winners will be announced for the first time at the ACP/CMA National College Media Convention in Louisville on Oct. 30, 2010. Comments from the judging team will be posted shortly after the convention.
