Wando student media traveled to Columbia this past weekend for the annual Southern Interscholastic Press Association conference. They competed against schools from across the South in writing, design, and photography for work from last year and this year.

 

Legend yearbook shattered previous staff records with 49 total individual awards and 21 first place awards. To put this in perspective, the total awards of the five schools ranking behind Legend were 9, 4, 4, 4, 4 respectively. That means Legend won just four fewer first place awards than the those other schools won in total awards combined.

In writing honors, Legend won 17 of 21 possible awards.

 

The 2022 edition of the yearbook was also named the Best in Show yearbook of all schools in attendance at the conference.

Tribal Tribune newspaper won 15 total awards and four first place awards as well.
