Distinguished Sites Derangement

It’s badge season at SNO Sites, and things are starting to heat up in our elongated version of March Madness. As the season is about half way over––it started in January and runs through April––we thought it was the perfect time to let you know how things were going.

So far this season, 125 badges have been awarded to 62 schools, which is about a 290% growth in awarded badges over last year at this time. Holy badges! (These numbers have been fact-checked by Lindsay, the only member of the SNO Patrol authorized to operate a calculator.)

The most commonly earned badge is the Excellence in Writing Badge, and the badge that appears to be the hardest to earn––having been awarded only four times––is the Multimedia Badge.

The most elusive award, though, is that of Distinguished Site. So far just three publications have earned this title.  Each of these Texas SNOFlakes is unique in their own way:  The Roar, The Red Ledger, and Legacy Press. The Lone Star gauntlet has been thrown.

Submissions will be accepted until May 1, 2015, and any staff that applies before that deadline with either receive the badge or get feedback on how they can make changes to achieve the badge when they apply again. So what are you waiting for? Apply today!

One more thing…
