The Washtenaw Voice was recognized by the Michigan Press Association college division with awards for graphic design, writing and photography published during the 2018-19 academic year. The awards were announced last Thursday.

In graphic design, the judges awarded:

  • Sargsyan also won second place in front page design. That award was based on a sample of three front pages.

In writing categories:

  • Voice editor Lilly Kujawski won first place in the feature story category, for the Feb. 25, 2019 story “Student rewrites his story.”
  • Kujawski also won first place in the category “best writer.” That award was based on a sample of three stories.
